God is Glorious
- mankind is not unless we glorify God.
One needs-to-know that everything can have its own degree of glory, but there is no comparison to the glory of God. Everything is for God’s glory, because everything ultimately comes from God, the creator of it all.
If you plant a vineyard, you might step back a harvest time, and think what a glorious thing I have accomplished, yet it is God who made it all possible. From the materials you used, to your strength to complete the task, it all came from God who deserves the glory.
Our work can glorify God and benefit others as we plant our grapevines, and make our wine or jelly to be enjoyed by all, but if one drinks all the wine or eats all the jelly, it becomes a selfish act that doesn’t bring about anything but drunkenness or selfish gluttony and a life not well enjoyed. It is our choice as to how we live our lives, either for God or for self.
It is great to know what we need to enjoy life and God forever, is to glorifying Him in all things.
