Day Twelve: 21-Day Easter Challenge

Many of the leaders believed but kept it a secret because they loved human glory more than God's glory.

I find it hard, in day-to-day life, to keep focused on God's glory. Really focused in the sense of desiring to make him shine and be praised. So I'm always susceptible to wanting to please people or myself more than God. I'll say what someone wants to hear, or I'll react in a way that makes me feel better (let's off steam or ignores a need). And maybe that's part of what it means to live for God's glory: Focus on how God wants me to respond and speak and act (carefully and deliberately weigh my actions and thoughts), and through that he gets the glory because my life is lived in response to him and not to me.
