All For the Glory of God

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

1 Corinthians 10:31

   This verse is always so convicting every single time I read it.  Do it ALL for the glory of God. All. Everything. How challenging is that? When I wake up in the morning, am I grumbling? That doesn't glorify God. When I get dressed am I wondering if what I'm choosing to wear is glorifying to God? Am I having my quiet time with Him out of a desire to know Him and His word better, or because it's something I have to do? What is my tone with the kids? How am I using my time? What is my attitude while I go about my chores? Did I lose my temper with the kids? Did I quietly encourage them to do the right thing, or did I tell them harshly what they were not doing right? Do you see my point?

 

  It's barely 8:30 and I've already failed to glorify God in all of these little choices. It isn't just about the big things. It isn't about making one or two big choices in your day to day life. It is about making every individual decision throughout the day. It's about forcing yourself to be held accountable for every single thought and decision, and if it isn't going to glorify Him, changing your way of thinking. Changing your attitude. Making a decision that I am going to glorify Him in this as well.

Hard to do? Yes. Worth it? Definitely!

Have an amazing day making the decision to glorify Him in everything!
