For the Glory of God | Nov. 13th

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

   1 Corinthians 10:31

  Beloved, would you consider your life as one that glorifies God? Is God glorified in your life daily? Reflecting on these questions, we see that this verse should inspire us to do so, while also providing a clearer understanding of what it means to glorify God on a daily basis. We struggle with this because we often think that we can only bring glory to God through some form of religious activity, or that it is reserved for those who serve during a worship service.

  As we consider glorifying God, it's essential to remember that our lives are not divided into categories of religious acts and everyday responsibilities. Although we may express unique acts of worship on Sunday, this verse shows us that we also glorify God in our everyday activities.

   With this in mind, consider that eating and drinking are among the most frequent and common activities. Because of this, we should see that we can glorify the Lord daily in the simplest of ways. It is ultimately the motive of our hearts that enables us to bring honor to the Lord—the belief that the chief and exalted end of our life is to live for Him. That we want to please Him in all that we do and be a blessing to others.

  We can bless others by praying for them, encouraging them with words of affirmation, or holding the door open for them. We do all and treat all as unto the Lord. You can bring glory to God today, and hopefully, you are doing more so than you first realized.

In Christ Alone.
