Being used by God requires inward humility and exaltation of Jesus as king.

It's the only way being used by the Lord can work.

Today, we'll take a deeper dive in our own hearts and examine who is actually enthroned there.

So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 1031. To declare the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 1031.

To declare the glory of God is to put all things in their proper place.

Chaos and struggle are always the result of humanity trying to gain glory for ourselves.

God alone is worthy. God alone was made to be above all else. And God alone can handle the weight of receiving glory.

1 Corinthians 1031 says, so whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. We were made to declare the glory

of God. We were made to proclaim through word and deed, the majesty, splendor, and worthiness

of the God of heaven and earth. Proclaiming God's glory to the world always begins by taking a look at our own

hearts. We can't declare that God is above every other name if we're still on the throne of our

hearts. We can't proclaim His excellencies and then seek to gain success, approval, and affirmation from others.

Declaring God's glory starts with our own humility. It begins with living a life of sacrifice

to the one who's given up everything for us. When we remove ourselves from the throne of our hearts, we are set free to

magnify Jesus. It's when we set our eyes on our Savior King that we are freed from the weights and

pressures that come from living selfishly. And in this freedom, we find the life we were always meant for, a life

of continual, incredibly satisfying worship. In Revelation 19, 6 through 8, we see a beautiful

picture of heaven at the marriage supper of the Lamb. At this feast, a great multitude cries out saying,

Hallelujah, for the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exalt and give him the glory.

For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. It was granted her to

clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure. One day, all of creation will see Jesus
