God Created Us to Glorify Him

Today I would like to share with you a devotional from my book Devotions for Working Women that reminds us of God’s primary purpose for creating us—to glorify him! It’s difficult to glorify God in everything we do and to keep that thought present with us throughout the day. Therefore, I have come up with some ideas to keep reminding myself. They are: 1) establish a routine in my daily prayer so I always start by giving thanks for that day and for my life; 2) seek God’s input throughout my workday and ask for his wisdom during difficult situations; and 3) share with someone when God does something for me so it doesn’t go unnoticed. Let’s encourage each other to glorify God!

We Were Created by God’s Power and to Glorify Him
#296

Romans 11:36 (NLT)
For everything comes from him; everything exists by his power and is intended for his glory. To him be glory evermore. Amen.

God created every one of us by His power. He has given us everything we have and made us who we are in Christ—one of God’s beloved children. We must not forget that. When this revelation is present in our lives, we feel confident and know we can do all things through Christ, the One who strengthens us.

Thank God every day for your life, your family, your job, and for all the gifts He has given to you. The purpose of everything He created is intended to bring glory to Him. You were created to glorify God with your life and in all you do. This includes your workplace.
