Day 7 Saturday Sept 18 The Reason for Everything

"The ultimate goal of the universe is to show the glory of God. It is the reason everything exists.". WOW!!

How do we glorify god? Warren summarizes the ways in God's five purposes for your life:

Worship-God is inviting us to enjoy Him,God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him
Community-it is our responsibilty to learn to love as God does, because God is love
Growing-the more you develop Christlike character, the more you will bring glory to God
Serving-God gave you your abilitis to benefit others
Mission-God expects us to share the truth with others

We will be diving deeper into these 5 ways we can glorify God over the next 5 weeks.

Where in your daily routine can you become more aware of God's glory?

Lord, I pray that each one of us discover new ways to glorify you each and every day!! Help us to change our priorities,schedules and relationships and live our lives for your glory. Amen

  1. My brother and I went dove hunting with our dogs (golden and a black lab) and we got on the subject of watching the dogs work. We said that there is something special about watching them do what they were born to do. They enjoy the hunting and the retrieving more than we do!

    What I realized is that when they are doing their retrieves they are bringing glory to God! They are using their gifts exactly the way their Creator intended.
