The word glorify is not a common one in everyday conversation except maybe at church on Sunday, where the context would be in relationship to glorifying God. A word used in reverence toward God is a good reason to have a word even if it isn't used much beside that.
I found an interesting definition of "glorify" that I think is worth considering.
Glorify - (verb) to aim our lives at a purpose
That definition caught my eye because I have been thinking a lot lately about my legacy and what would be the best use of my time at this stage in my life. This is a little personal but here are my thoughts.
