Glorify God

I have started reading and studying the book by John Piper titled, Don’t Waste Your Life.
These words jumped out at me as I was reading it. I do not want to waste my life (one year, one month, one week, one day, one hour, one minute or one second) and want to live it to glorify my Lord and Savior.
Chapter 2 - Breakthrough – The Beauty of Christ, My Joy p. 31

The Crystal-Clear Reason for Living
The Bible is crystal-clear: God created us for his glory. Thus says the Lord, “Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory” (Isaiah 43:6-7). Life is wasted when we do not live for the glory of God. And I mean all of life. It is all for his glory. That is why the Bible gets down into the details of eating and drinking. “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31) We waste our lives when we do not weave God into our eating and drinking and every other part by enjoying and displaying him.

More on this will follow.
Grace and Peace
