I came across a quote attributed to John Piper saying: "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." The quote made me stop and do some thinking. I want God to be glorified in me, and I imagine you want God to be glorified in you—I don't think there is any question about that. A good question that generates much self-inspection is this: when are we most satisfied in God?
As I thought about that question, I jotted down some thoughts based on my own personal experiences.
- I am realizing His gifts of grace and peace in my life that are made obvious daily.
- I am admiring Him and His work in His creation.
- I am accepting His love for me that was completed and demonstrated at the cross of Christ.
- I am receiving His forgiveness as I run to Him in repentance.
- I am content with what I have, recognizing that all I have is given to me by Him.
- I am praying.
- I am reading and learning Scripture.
- I am fasting.
- I am allowing devotion to prayer and God's Word to be a part of my daily schedule.
- I am following Jesus in point-of-need ministry.
- I am receiving the blessings of Kingdom citizenship.
Know that you are loved,
