St. Paul says: “Whether ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to
the glory of God.”
There is a glory of man and a glory of God. The former is transient, but
the latter is eternal, and is what all men should aim to see.
“All flesh is grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away.”
It is plain to every right thinking and reasoning man that we should
seek that which is the best. We so act in all our business affairs, and
why should we not do the same so far as our immortal souls are
concerned?
The kingdom of God is His glory, and seeking that first, all other
things will come to you.
In striving to attain to a sight of the glory of God, we are moving
upward from every point of view. Compared with that glory, the man who
seeks only the glory of man, is satisfied with tinsel instead of pure
gold.
Do not imagine that because we are far away from the kingdom and glory
of God, that it is not worth consideration. His glory is visible
everywhere. In the rising sun; the flowers and plants; the winds and the
rain; in the smallest animal, and particularly in man.
It can be cultivated, and imitated by using the intellect. The more a
man learns the nearer he gets to the glory of God, and the better he
will be prepared to finally reach it.
All men are moved and have their being in pursuance to a law of God who
created all things for His own glory. You are intended to share in that
glory, it is your heritage as a man.
