Imagine starting your day thinking about this …
For most of us, from the moment we awake in the morning we have at least one objective we want to accomplish that day, even if it’s simply, “Get through the day!”
It might be something important at work.
It might be an activity or event with your children later that evening.
It might be something to do with your spouse.
Perhaps it’s a personal project you’re working on.
Maybe it’s something as simplistic as trying to beat the morning rush hour traffic.
But each day, there’s usually something we want to accomplish.
Where does, “Bring glory to God” land on your daily to-do list?
Or does it?
Is it something you even think about?
Considering the fact that we human beings exist for the purpose of bringing glory to God, maybe it’s something we need to make as a conscious daily pursuit. Maybe we need to move it up higher on our list of important things to pursue. Maybe it’s something we need to be purposeful and mindful about. After all, if we’re not actually thinking about it, how do we expect to accomplish it? Accidentally?
Romans 11:36 states, “For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.”
First Corinthians 10:31 exhorts us this way: “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
For a long time now, it has been a part of starting my day to make a portion of my morning prayer time asking God to help all that I am and do that day bring glory to Him. It helps me start my day with a desire and intent to live in a way that will glorify Him.
How do you make living for the glory of God a focal point of your daily experience?
