(S)cripture-
1 Cor. 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
(O)bservation-
We are created by God and we are all shaped for service by Him - everything we do should be directed to the purpose of glorifying God. In addition to what Paul writes here to the Corinthians, Peter says when we speak we should do so as one speaking the very words of God and when we serve to do so with the strength God provides. We are all blessed with so many gifts and talents - God provides for our needs and allows us to prosper. We should be living sacrifices to God who gave us eternal life through Christ and to direct our energy and efforts to bringing Him glory.
(A)pplication-
My life is committed to serving God and bringing Him glory. I am not perfect and certainly stumble in my walk with the Lord, and for this reason I am so thankful to be covered by His grace. I want to keep my eyes fixed on the prize and to run the race in this life in humble obedience and powerful service to God so that I can glorify His holy name.
(P)rayer-
Father, I commit my life and everything I do to You. May You be glorified by my words, thoughts, and actions. Help me to be obedient to what You call me to do and to do Your will with power through Your Holy Spirit. Lord God, my hope is in You and I give You all of my praise - I love You and desire to bring You glory in all I do. Thank You for blessing me so richly. In Jesus name, Amen.
