Through the testing of this ministry you glorify God by your obedience to the
confession of the gospel of Christ and by the generosity of your sharing with them and with all
others.
(2 Corinthians 9.13
NRSV)
Our tendency today is to place ourselves in the limelight, to glorify not God, but ourselves, and
then to wonder why we are so unhappy. There is an old saying that a man wrapped up in
himself makes a pretty small package. Our chief end, according to the old catechism, is to
glorify God. Jesus says, "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become
my disciples." If our world does not seem as cheerful as it once was, it may be because most
people do not have this as their main purpose in life. I'm afraid I don't know very many people
whose main purpose is glorifying God. When we live a fruitful life we bear witness to God's
presence in our world.
Dear God, help me to glorify you today and always. Amen.
