In 1 Corinthians 10:31 the apostle Paul makes this summery statement as to how we are to live our lives. He writes, “whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
Lets’s ask several questions about that glory.
First of all, What is the glory of God?  I suggest to you that it is his self-sacrificial nature of helpfulness. Absolutely everything about God is helpful, and he will go to any needed extreme in sacrificing himself to be helpful. So anytime you are in his presence, thinking about him or responding to him in any way, you are being helped. That’s his glory.
What is it to glorify him?  It is to constantly grow less unlike Him — that is to say — to become increasingly self-sacrificially helpful ourselves. That we should seek to be like him honors him.
How do we do that? By walking in friendship with him each day, freely telling him all that’s on our hearts and by acting on his counsel. When we practice being his friend and doing whatever it is he calls us to do, we are like a well-watered flower in warm sunshine and like such a flower, he causes us to grow in self-sacrificial helpfulness. Such a friendship is to be the content of our daily lives, everything else is merely the context.
