APPLICATION QUESTIONS

1. What would you say is your highest goal in life?

2. Think of a husband who gives his wife a hug. Why does he do it? Who enjoys it? How does this illustrate the fact that when we seek God's pleasure first, we also enjoy it, the fact that when we seek to glorify God, we also enjoy Him?

3. Do you sometimes think only of glorifying God, without enjoying Him? Why do you think that happens sometimes to people? What can you do to both glorify God and enjoy Him?

4. Do you sometimes obey God simply out of fear or out of mere duty, but not out of love? Why? How can you change that?
