Do it, For the Glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10:31
31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.


Each day is filled with hundreds of decisions. Any decision we make can either hurt or help someone. It's so important to think before acting.

Don't just glorify God in your spiritual activities, but everything you do. Since we are made by God, we are meant to bring Glory to him...24/7. I guess you could say that when it comes to glorifying God, there is no snooze button, like on an alarm clock. We must be very careful with our words and actions. If we hurt others this causes them to stumble and fall short of God. Whatever we do, we can't diminish God's glory.

Sometimes people cause us to stumble. It's hard, but just remember, when this happens, if we live to honor God, our words and actions should hint what God would say, and not what Satan would say. God can help you with this, just pray about it.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Maryanne Williamson
