Keep God in Sight.

Colossians 3:12-17
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.


How much do we conscientiously think about God? I mean is it every hour? A few times a day? Once a day? Not all? Chances are, we could all use some daily reminders because we don't think about him enough. No, you won't get a facebook notification from God or a text message to remind you, but there are some efforts you can make to give God your heart-felt time throughout the day whether you're praying, cooking, washing the car, or working in the office.

You don't have to change everything you do. All you have to do is change your purpose and motives. What or who do you live and work for? Instead of doing chores, errands, and duties for yourself, do them for God.

The goal is to see God in everything that you do. Don't just look at what you're trying to finish before the day's over, but think about everything that God has offered to you, such as his love.

Many times what we love (to do) comes natural to us. However, occasionally, everyone has to step outside of their comfort zone and go beyond what they are accustomed to doing. When we have to perform these tasks, try to keep the glory of God in mind. Everything we do can be given to God as an offering.
