Living for God’s Glory, Day 4

Adding more religion doesn’t mean adding more glory to God. Read Hosea chapter 4.

As God continued to share his message with the people, we see that the people were in fact doing religious type things. They were making up their own religiousness, but more and more people were being considered religious. However, just adding more religious things does not mean God gets the glory. As we see here, the people were trading God’s glory for their religious practices. Yes, they were doing more religious things, but they were further than ever from the glory of God because of what they were doing.

We must be very careful that the practices that we do are, in fact, what God desires and what will bring him glory. When we look at our daily life and the activities that we do, are we seeking God’s glory or are we seeking a religious feeling? We must be focused on the glory of God. How can we demonstrate and exalt God’s glory today?
