Glory to God

For so long I've heard the question "How do we bring glory to God?" and I've heard the same answers: "Live for Him", "trust in Him", "Share Him". While all those answers are true, when someone asks me how to bring glory to God, I'm almost always stumped.

I learned today that God is glorified by us when we are satisfied in Him.

Every time I eat somewhere I leave the restaurant and just have to tell someone about the food I just ate, wether it was delicious or terrible, but when it's delicious, oh boy do I go at it. I explain every detail, every last bite of my meal, like it was worth a million bucks, because for me the experience was wortth a million bucks! While doing this, whoever I'm talking to always says "Well I've gotta try that!" or "Did you save me any?" I learned today that what I'm doing is bringing glory to the restaurant or the food.

In the same way I bring glory to God through my satisfaction in Him. If I could share, not just the gospel, or a bridge diagram with someone, but rather my satisfaction in the Lord, I can bring glory to God. At the same time, whoever sees the satisfaction that I find in Him can say, "I've gotta try that!" And if they ever want me to give them a peace, I will always have some to share.

What I've noticed is that my life hasn't been reflecting a life that finds complete satisfaction in God. Not that I don't love Him, share Him, trust Him, or desire Him. Just that my life doesn't explain my experience with God like I would a million dollar meal. This excites me though, because I know my experience with God is much greater than any meal I've had, and with satisfaction in Him, and through my satisfaction in Him, my life will yell, "Taste and see that the Lord is good!"

Today I wish to express to everyone around me my full satisfaction in the Lord
