Glorify God in our actions

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. (Psalm 128:1–2 ESV)

 In our outer life we can glorify God in our actions. We glorify Him when we follow what His Word tells us to do, when we live in accordance with it, and put biblical principles into everyday action.
 Because we are personal beings who have a relationship with God, we can also follow Him by seeking His direction in prayer and doing those things He shows us. Each of us is different, and the Lord can give guidance that is specific to our life. We show Him honor when we ask Him to lead us and when we follow His leading by faith.
 When we understand that God created us to glorify Him, it should help us to do our best to live in a manner which brings Him glory. Living a God-glorifying life, however, isn’t a one-way street, with all the benefits going to Him. There are blessings received in this life and in the life to come for those who live to glorify Him.
 As Christians who understand that the Lord desires us to live lives that glorify Him, which will be blessed by Him and will bless others, we have the opportunity to fulfill the purpose of our Creator in this life, and to live with Him forever in joy and happiness, always being able to give Him the glory He deserves. —Peter Amsterdam [1]

 The person who fears God seeks to live all of life to the glory of God... All the activities of life should be pursued with the aim of glorifying God. —Jerry Bridges
