Something that I have long been obsessed with is the reality that the way I live can bring God glory. That is really cliché, so I think that sometimes it’s easy to overlook, but it has really impacted me. I am not anyone special–I’m just 22 year old college student at a small school in a small state who’s pretty mediocre all around. But, the idea that the way I live, could bring Glory to the Almighty God sort of gets me going. It’s something that I really want to do.
I say I’m obsessed with it because I have thought a lot about it and the goal of bringing Glory to God has really permeated me in a lot of ways. There are certain ways of living that bring God glory. For example, by telling the Good News to people so that they will understand God’s love and praise Him; by serving people in need, so that they will praise God for the blessing you are to them; and by encouraging people through maybe a kind word or stimulating thought.
Today as I was reading, I found another way to bring God glory. Here it is: Psalm 50:15 says, “Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.”
So, when I’m in trouble, I’m going to call on God and let him rescue me to bring him Glory!
