To Glorify God? - 1 Corinthians 10:31

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. -
1 Corinthians 10:31

    Indeed, what does it mean to glorify God? I think of the concept and even say it often enough but do I truly understand what it is to glorify God? The term “glorify” coming from the Hebrew and the Greek are reflected in the words: great, heavy, honor and magnify. Glory is therefore something of great value. Glory, in Greek, comes from dóksa (dokeō). This is where “doxology” comes from: to praise God.
    So when we worship or pray we are glorifying God, yes? But the apostle isn’t talking about worshiping or prayer. He is saying “whatever you do, do all to the glory of God,” and he prefaces this command with a mention of eating or drinking. So it is safe to say, in fact, it is crucial to say that everything we do should be done to the glory of God! Whether it is the way we eat or drink or speak or dress or conduct ourselves we are to do it all to the glory of God. And that, brothers and sisters, includes all modes of self-expression. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
- Colossians 3:17.
    So if we are to glorify God in all we do are we doing so in our daily lives or merely on Sunday, if at all? What ramifications does the command to glorify God have for us Christians in the 21st Century? Certainly there are many forms of  self-expression available to us in these days of Godlessness that in all probability do not “glorify God.” I believe it is incumbent upon us to re-evaluate those forms we deem harmless, or simply feel entitled to, despite scriptural notification. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?  For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. -
1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
    May we all begin again today to reflect upon the holiness and splendor of our God who has lovingly saved us through the blood of His own son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
