Do
Everything
For The Glory Of God
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you
do, do everything for the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or
to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not
seeking my own advantage, but that of many, so that they may be saved. Be
imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
1 Corinthians
10:31-11:1
“What on earth are you doing?” You may have
heard that phrase from one of your parents. You may have been playing or making
a mess when you were supposed to have been studying or cleaning up. But if God
were to ask you that, what would you say?
God’s glory is the manifestation of all that He
is in His unsurpassed, stunning perfection. It is His Amazing love, His wide
mercy, His deep grace. His glory is seen in His truth,
justice, wisdom and power.
To glorify Him means that we have the high
privilege of showing Him off in a world that is totally unaware of what He is
really like. Acts of mercy to the undeserving, grace to the needy, forgiveness
to an offender, and living wisely according to His will – all give glorious
visibility to the character and quality of our God.
There are a lot of misconceptions floating
around about God. It is our job to let others see what He is really like. And, when
they like what they see, be sure to let them know who taught us to live like
that.
Our lives should be a
show and tell
for the glory of God.
