God's glory (2)

Which comes first, God's glory accompanying me to accomplish his will or me accomplishing his will so others can see God's glory? Maybe I ought to differentiate between God's presence and his glory?

What does this mean? How does this differ between Biblical time and now?

God can use anybody, believer or not, to accomplish his will so his glory would come through. God is omnipresent, so "his presence" is more of my perception or awareness of his presence; not of whether he is present or not. His glory relates to my perception of his presence and him being God (with all the awesome Godlike attributes) and I am merely human.

If his glory is present with me, then my life would point others toward God's awesomeness.

Dear God
may my life point others
to your glory
