"Whatever you do, do it for the Glory of God, and give it as expression of worship to Him."
The Christian life is embodied one of two ways, an attitude of self-sufficiency or a passion for God's glory. A picture of this is displayed in the movie Chariots of Fire. The contrast between Harold Abramham and Eric Liddell is a picture of the contrast between Law and Grace.
Abramham is determined and ultimately out for personal gain. He is a picture of one who has done all the right things to the letter, seen success from his hard work, praised by others and yet something is missing. Liddell is no less focused or disciplined yet He runs for the pleasure of God. In short Abramham runs for personal glory and Liddell runs for the pleasure of God. They point to two different styles of life, a life resting on grace and moved by worship and a life held up by its own power, moved to prove its own existence.
What pleasure do you run after?
Ravi Zacharias has explains the analogy with a clarity and beauty that only he can.
