He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; (Romans 4:20 KJV)
In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. (Ephesians 1:4-6 NASB)
John Piper said, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him."
I would like to put that from another perspective, "We are most blessed when God is most glorified in us."
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. (Isaiah 57:15 KJV)
We are blessed when we glorify God and humble ourselves because God is with the humble and contrite.
Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13 ESV)
God answers our prayers to glorify Himself. When our prayers are answered, we benefited.
And now Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world came to be. (John 17:5 NASB)
