Do everything for God
"Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks through him to God the Father.
- Wives, submit to your husbands, for that is what you should do as Christians.
- Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
- Children, it is your Christian duty to obey your parents always, for that is what pleases God.
- Parents, do not irritate your children, or they will become discouraged.
- Slaves, obey your human masters in all things, not only when they are watching you because you want to gain their approval; but do it with a sincere heart because of your reverence for the Lord.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for human beings."
(Colossians 3.17-23 GNB)
Doing something for God is not a public show; it must be sincere from the heart, even when nobody is watching. Even when nobody notices.
Whatever I do, I want to do it for God; not just the professional thing or the big thing, but also the everyday thing and the domestic thing - for those around me.
I want those around me to see God's love through me.
Lord,
please help me do everything
for you and with thanksgiving
