I tell my kids often this verse (especially in their studies!) to remind them why we are here on this earth:
Colossians 3:17
17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
We are here to bring God glory in everything we say or do and then give Him thanks for the ability to do so!
1 Corinthians 10:31
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Colossians 3:23-24
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for[a] you serve the Lord Christ.
So here is the thought for this today....when you are working, studying, talking, working out, driving, hunting, fishing, baking, cooking, baby sitting, listening to music, watching tv, paying bills, or whatever you are doing today are you doing it to glorify God? Be very careful on how you answer and examine yourself to see if you really are or not. Ou actions speak much louder than our words!
I pray that day and everyday we are glorifying our Lord in everything we say and do! For He alone is worthy of all honor and praise!
