To the glory of God.

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" 1 Corinthians 10:31

As you go about your day with many tasks in mind, how often do you complain about what you are doing? How often do you do something with an ulterior motive in mind? Who do you complete those daily tasks for?

As a stay at home mom of two, I find myself complaining about the mess that I had just cleaned up. Or the never ending job of laundry. Sometimes even the lack of adult conversation. In the last year God has really opened up my eyes to the fact that I don't do what I do for anyone but Him. Sure, my family benefits from me staying at home, But the only one that I am to please is God.

If we can remember as we do anything that we are to do it for God's glory, then He will use it to bless someone else. God's glory goes far beyond just pleasing Him, it allows doors to be opened so that He can take it and bless others. When I take care of my family to glorify God, He then uses that to please my family.

Sometimes we think that we don't have much to offer God. Maybe we aren't educated enough to do something great in this world. Maybe we don't have enough money to make a difference. God doesn't see us that way. He doesn't want that from all of us. He wants each of us to do the best we can with what we have and give Him the glory for it and through it. "God doesn't call the qualified He qualifies the Called."
I pray that you will open your heart to God. Let Him work in your life. Make it a conscious decision to do all that you do to the glory of God.
With God's Love,
Christian
