Another important quality we need to have in Sabbath or work is to glorify God. God requires us to glorify him because of his holiness and greatness. Because of how great and mighty he is, we are to show his glory at all times.
Our whole lives should reflect the glory and nature of Jesus Christ. In Exodus 25-32 God instructs Moses on the building of the tabernacle. Throughout the building everything is designed to honor and glorify God. Everyone involved the building of the tabernacle is given a job to do in the process. They are to do glorify God in the building of the tabernacle.
The tabernacle is designed to bring glory and praise to God. Everything is put together so that it would honor and praise God. There was incense put in place, offerings to God, consecration of the priests, free will offerings, Sundry laws put in place, more institution of Sabbath laws. These things were done step by step all to bring glory to God. God had a purpose for the tabernacle, all the things in it, and in the building of it.
Lastly, Paul discusses the process of glorifying God as an everyday process. This should be done with our actions and thoughts. Paul describes this process in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "Whatever then, what you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." Our whole life should be a clear representation of God in us. Non- Christians should see something different in us.
When we give glory to God, people will ask us what is different about us. They will see a life change in us and want to know more about who God is. Also, they will want to know what Christ has done for us. One of the traits of this is showing radical love toward others. Lastly, we need to accept others that may be different than us.
How can you give God glory today? What areas of your life can you glorify God today?
