What does it mean to seek God's glory rather than our own?

Answered in 1 source

Seeking God's glory means prioritizing His divine will over personal recognition or achievements.

In John 7:18, Jesus contrasts those who seek their own glory with those who seek the glory of God. This distinction emphasizes the heart's intent behind our actions. When we seek God's glory, we align ourselves with His purposes and acknowledge His sovereignty. It is a call to humility, recognizing that all we do should point to Him rather than ourselves. This mindset fosters true servanthood and dedication to God’s mission, as we realize that our fulfillment and purpose come from glorifying Him. The apostle Paul encapsulates this in 1 Corinthians 10:31, 'Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.'
