How does a young child glorify God?

Jeffrey Johnson explains in this video that we each have a purpose that is given to us by God. We don't need to reach a specific age to begin to glorify God. Whether you are young or old, you can be glorifying God -- today. Simply knowing God and obeying God is a basic means of glorifying God.

So, how does a young child glorify God? By loving their siblings unconditionally, by seeking to show Christ to their siblings, and obeying and loving the commands of God. 

1 Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV) - "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

How does young children, such an eight-year-old glorify God in the way he lives, the way he interacts with his brothers and sisters? It's important that all children, all of us, if we're 99 years old or for nine years old, that we realize that we have a purpose given to us by God. We don't have to hit a certain age, we don't have to be 13 or 16 or 18 or 21 to glorify God. It begins in the beginning. Infants are designed to glorify God And eight-year-olds are designed to glorify God.

How does an eight-year-old glorify God? Well, in the same way as a nine- or ten-year-old, or a 99-year-old glorifies God, by faith and obedience. Simply knowing God, and knowing that by knowing God and obeying God that that is the basic means of bringing glory and honor and praise to the Lord. So how does an eight-year-old glorify God? By simply loving his brothers sacrificially, not retaliating when brother or sister does something that's aggravating, but seeking to show Christ to your brothers and sisters, by seeking to Enjoy Christ for yourself, to know Christ, to seek Christ, and to obey Christ.

The basic, trust and obey, is really no other way, for no matter how old you are, this is the simple way of bringing God glory.
