Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar dive into what it truly means to glorify the Lord. We were created in His image to reflect His glory, and when we experience His creation, we reflect that back to Him. Through the gospel, God brings us together to glorify Him. The most loving thing He can do is reveal Himself to His creation and invite them into a relationship with Him. Our greatest need is to know God. Much like a baby crying for milk from its mother, our souls cry out for God, and only He knows what we truly need. We are designed to seek something greater than ourselves.

Every moment can be a worshipful moment. Like looking at a painting brings glory to the painter, the heavens declare God’s glory. Everyone inherently knows God exists, and to limit Him is sin. God makes it clear He doesn’t share His glory. Humanity is not meant to take glory, and when we do, it’s repulsive. God’s glory extends to every area of life—work, relationships, everything. When we are humble, we realize how often our hearts wander.

The Lord provides all things, and work is an opportunity to glorify Him, not just to meet our needs. We must remember everything comes from God, and ungratefulness is sin. As believers we should worship God for even the smallest of blessings. Humility is key to repentance; we don’t have to be strong in our own strength. Repentance glorifies God because it acknowledges the possibility of change through Jesus’ sacrifice. God commands all men everywhere to repent, for He will judge the world. Repentance glorifies God because it acknowledges His ability to change hearts. Though many fear repentance, it is a return to being God’s child—a gift He offers to His children. God is also glorified by Christians calling others to repentance.

His glory penetrates every aspect of life, yet we cannot fully live in it. Moses was sheltered in the rock as God’s glory passed by—something so profound no man could have imagined it. To disciple children to see God’s glory, first, you must crave God yourself and make much of Him before them. Glorify God by seeking, proclaiming, and obeying His word. As you fall more in love with God, you’ll do things you wouldn't otherwise. Understanding that we can glorify God in weakness is transformative.

In all things, we should want God to be glorified. This changes why we do what we do. When we embrace God’s glory, we overflow with joy. By nature, we evangelize about what brings us joy. Glorifying God means making much of Him. We need to stop trying to impress people and remember that our purpose is to glorify the Lord.
