Therefore . . . whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31

The great composer, Franz Joseph Haydn, though weakened by age and confined to a wheelchair, was present one evening at the Vienna Music Hall where his piece, "The Creation," was being performed. As the piece progressed, the audience became so overwhelmed with emotion that when the passage "And there was light!" was reached, they arose and burst into applause. Struggling to stand, Haydn motioned for silence, pointed toward heaven and said, "No, no, not from me, but from thence comes all!"
Isaiah 42:8-13
We were created to praise God. It should be our aim every day to glorify Him through our thoughts, actions, and words, amounting to a life that is ultimately not about us but all about Christ. Haydn understood this well and carried it out wonderfully during his life. He knew that the reason he was able to create such masterpieces was that God had blessed him with a gift. He spent his life using that gift to bring glory to the Lord.
Scripture tells us we are to "Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name" (Psalm 29:2). Whatever we do, let us do it to honor and glorify Christ Jesus the Lord.
It all comes down to this one thing; that God may be glorified in me, through me, and by me.
