ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD
(Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:27-33)
πŸ—“ Monday, December 16

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

One great commitment that we should make as believers is to glorify God in all we do. In today’s base text, Paul counsels us: “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” To glorify God means to offer great honour, praise and thanks to God. When we do things that show that God is at work in and through us, it results in praise and thanksgiving to God; he is greatly honoured. Loving others glorifies God. Forgiving offenders glorifies God. Faithfulness and honesty glorify God. Helping the needy also brings thanksgiving and praise to God. This is what Paul meant when he wrote to the Corinthian believers concerning giving to God’s people who were in need: “This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God … others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ …” (2 Corinthians 9:12-13). Our good deeds show forth the love of God and people cannot help but glorify God. That is why our Lord Jesus urges his followers: “… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). Whatever you do, do it all for God’s glory.

Key Lesson: Godly people seek to glorify God in all they do.
Meditation and Prayer: Lord, be glorified in my life and ministry.
Further Reading: Matthew 5:13-16; Philippians 1:18-21.
The Bible in One Year: Hebrews 1-4.
