Glorifying and Enjoying God
varied writings of C. S. Lewis, 1898-1963. This is the year we celebrate the centenary of his birth. GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD The Scotch catechism says that man's chief end is "to glorify God and enjoy Him forever." But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him. C. S. Lewis, from REFLECTIONS ON THE PSALMS, Harcourt, Brace & World [now Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1958. [Those lines remind me of John Piper's words: "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him."] Well, that's the end of our C. S. Lewis summers series of WORSHIP QUOTES. I hope you have enjoyed them. Don't forget that all of these worship quotes are indexed by author at the main site.
