There is a common saying people use when life does not go as planned. You will hear them sigh and say, “Everything happens for a reason” or “In the end, God will be glorified.” It sounds comforting, it sounds deep, and it sounds spiritual. But is it always true? The truth is, not all things glorify God. Some things happen because of human foolishness, carelessness, and rebellion. Some tragedies are not tests from heaven, but consequences of choices made on earth.
Think about this. If a man drinks himself into madness and ends up in a ditch, will that glorify God? If a woman wastes her youth taking harmful chemicals without wisdom, and later her body breaks down, should we blame God for her pain? If a husband cheats on his wife, destroys his family, and loses everything, should we clap our hands and say, “Glory to God”? No. That is not glory. That is stupidity, and stupidity never glorifies God.
But we humans like excuses. Excuses make life easier to swallow. It is easier to blame God, or fate, or “destiny,” than to admit we were wrong. It is easier to hide behind spiritual language than to take responsibility for our choices. So, people continue to ruin their lives, destroy their families, corrupt their nations, and still expect some holy meaning to come out of the mess.
This book is written to provoke you. It is written to challenge the way you think about life, responsibility, and uprightness. It is not a religious manual filled with complicated doctrines. It is not a sermon where you will be told to simply “pray harder” when chaos comes. Instead, it is a mirror. It will force you to look at yourself, your family, your society, and even your nation, and ask: Am I living in a way that truly glorifies God? Or am I living in a way that will only bring shame, pain, and regret?
Uprightness is the missing link. You see, God is not glorified in your prison sentence if you robbed a bank. He is not glorified in your broken marriage if you lived a selfish and unfaithful life. He is not glorified in your sick body if you destroyed your health through recklessness. For God to be glorified, human stupidity must first be eliminated. Order, responsibility, and wisdom must replace chaos, negligence, and arrogance.
This is not only about individuals. Parents must not make mistakes that destroy their children’s future. Societies must not promote lies, greed, and corruption. Nations must not make policies that kill justice and celebrate wickedness. If we want to see true glory in our lives, we must learn that not all chaos is holy, not all pain is destiny, and not all disasters are planned. Many are born out of choices—and those choices can be changed.
This book will walk you through different areas of life—personal choices, family life, society, health, marriage, leadership, and nations. We will uncover the lies people tell themselves to justify their mistakes. We will tear down the false comfort that “everything is God’s will.” We will show that for God to be glorified, people must live uprightly.
If you are ready to face hard truths, then read on. If you are tired of empty excuses, then keep turning these pages. If you are willing to think deeply about your own responsibility in the chaos of your life, then this book is for you. It will not tickle your ears. It will not give you sweet excuses. It will cut deep, but it will also heal. Because the moment you accept that not all glorifies God, you begin to live in a way that truly does.
