Glorifying God

1–2 minutes

 

How can your life glorify God?

“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches;  But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the Lord (Jeremiah 9:23-24).

The Lord exercises lovingkindness, judgment and righteousness on the earth.

The Lord is delighted to do these things for us.

The Lord does not delight in sacrifices and burnt offering, but He delights in our obedience to Him.

Likewise we also are to take pleasure in doing the things that the Lord delights in.

And as such, our lives will glorify God.
