day 1217: Gloryfing

Today's post is a little different than usual. 

I was rereading an article about the late author and man of God, Dallas Willard and I was struck by an answer he gave to the question, "What exactly does it mean to glorify God?"  His answer is what I want to leave us with today to ponder and consider as we attempt to bring glory to God in our work.  Such a simple answer but one that demands our full attention to make the most of what he has to say.  So, I leave you with this to think about, apply, and to see if it can be brought to full life in you this week.  Dallas Willard answering, "What does it mean to glorify God?"

He responds, "To glorify God means to think and act in such a way that the goodness, greatness, and beauty of God are constantly obvious to ourselves and those around us. It means to live in such a way that when people see us they think, Thank God for God, if God would create such a life."
