Thoughts
- In order to live a purposeful and meaningful life we must glorify and enjoy God in all that we do. God has given us our skills, abilities, and even our life therefore we are to praise and thank Him for all that we have accomplished and all that He has done for us.
- Before the fall mankind was God centered. After the fall mankind is self-centered.
- Glorify – reflecting God’s glory. Creation reflects God’s glory like a mirror. Psalm 19:1 (ESV)
