Everything in the universe was ultimately made to glorify God. All of His creations were made to bring honor to Him from the stars at night, to the sun in its rising and setting, to the tide of the ocean as it powerfully rises and falls, to the beautifully and intricately made sea shells lying along the shore, to the birds that peacefully soar in the sky, to small animals such as a squirrel that will scurry along the ground with an acorn in its mouth. And they do bring to glory to God if you will quietly and thoughtfully observe them. But His best creation was when He made man. Although, we have the privilege of being made in God's image, unlike nature, we can sadly choose not to honor Him.

Summary Sentence: It's all for Him.

Since we must choose, the question arises in my mind, "Why?" Why would we want to choose to bring glory to God? Because that is the reason why we were made. We were made with an emptiness that craves the attention of God and only through seeking out and then realizing His purpose of why we were made will that emptiness be filled.

For Day 7 in the Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren gives a list of five ways a person can choose to honor God. These are also an outline for the rest of the book which has five more sections, 7 days each, to thoroughly describe their meaning. So according to the author we can bring glory to God by:

Worshiping Him
Loving other believers
Becoming more like Christ
Serving others with our gifts
Telling others about Him

The glory of God is best seen in His son Jesus. Thus, He is the One, the finest example to study to help us know how we can give honor to God in our life. In fact, the life of Jesus is written about in the Bible from four different accounts. If you flip through the first four books (sections) of the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John you will see red writing. These are the words Jesus spoke. You can learn a lot about Jesus' life by reading through these books. In fact, for many years it has been recommended for a new Christian to read the book of John first because it is the most simply written.
