It is plain to every right thinking and reasoning man that we should seek that which is the best. We so act in all our business affairs, and why should we not do the same so far as our immortal souls are concerned?
The kingdom of God is His glory, and seeking that first, all other things will come to you.
In striving to attain to a sight of the glory of God, we are moving upward from every point of view. Compared with that glory, the man who seeks only the glory of man, is satisfied with tinsel instead of pure gold.
Do not imagine that because we are far away from the kingdom and glory of God, that it is not worth consideration. His glory is visible everywhere. In the rising sun; the flowers and plants; the winds and the rain; in the smallest animal, and particularly in man.
It can be cultivated, and imitated by using the intellect. The more a man learns the nearer he gets to the glory of God, and the better he will be prepared to finally reach it.
All men are moved and have their being in pursuance to a law of God who created all things for His own glory. You are intended to share in that glory, it is your heritage as a man.
Do Not Violate the Laws of Nature
To violate any law is reprehensible, and in most cases is punishable.
A man steals, and he is put in jail as a punishment for not letting another man’s property alone. It is his and you have no right to it, wherefore you are punished.
But when you violate a law of nature, you are inflicting an injury upon yourself such as no wise man will do.
