1st Corinthians 10:31

This verse tells us "Whether you eat or drink or WHATEVER YOU DO, do it all for the glory of God."  This is the verse I basically live by.  I have it everywhere!  On my phone, over my bed, where I work, its everywhere!  I see it as a great reminder as to what we as Christians should be doing everyday!  Giving all of the glory to God , the one who gave us the air we breath, the food we eat, the water we drink and the life we live. 

Last year I had the hardest time not praising myself for the good things I did, but giving all the of the glory to God.  I soon realized that I wasn't getting anywhere in my walk with him by telling myself "good job, you didn't talk back to your Mom!".  Why give my sinful self a pat on the back for doing something good?  Why not thank the Lord for helping me through not sinning.  After all, he is the one who deserves it!  I don't deserve anything but his wrath and judgment.  

The last thing I want to get credit for the good things I do.  I want people to see God working through me, not me trying to be someone I am not.  My prayer today is this "God, help me to serve you with my whole heart, after all its yours!  My hopes, my dreams, my life... Its all yours God!"

Till next time,
