God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him.

God's greatest good is to be glorified, and humanity's greatest good is to be satisfied in Him. Because God is the most excellent and satisfying being in the universe, His pursuit of His own glory is an act of profound love for us. Our duty to pursue God’s glory turns out to be a quest for joy. If that is true, then there is no conflict between your greatest joy and God’s greatest glorification. In fact, not only is there no conflict between your joy and God’s glory, but His glory shines in your joy, when your joy is in Him. And since God is the source of greatest joy, and since He is the greatest treasure in the world, and since His glory is the most satisfying gift He could possibly give us, therefore it is the kindest, most loving thing He could possibly do — to reveal Himself, and magnify Himself for our everlasting enjoyment. Speaking about God, the psalmist says, “In Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11). Be encouraged to becoming most satisfied in God!
