1 Corinthians 10:31

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

This is one of those verses I wish was not in the Bible.  Because as I reflect on my life there many things that do not bring Glory.  There are many times the intent or purpose of my heart is not to bring glory to God.  But this verse is clear that whatever I do is to be for the glory of God. 

In this world I am not sure that this is completely possible.  However I do believe that this should be my goal.  This should be a driving force in my life.  This should be something that I strive for in everything.  It also should be the basis of how I evaluate everything I do.  

However understanding that I will probably not live up to this also should not determine my worth or identity.  Another words I cannot let Satan get a foothold in my life when I do not achieve the goals that motivate and challenge my life.  I must remember always that God's love is not determined by what I do or do not do.  His love never changes, his love endures forever.  I cannot make him love me anymore or any less.

Father today as I strive to bring you glory, wrap your arms of love around me and never let me go. Help me to be quick to recognize when something in my life does not bring you glory.  Help me to be quick to confess it and to turn away from it and run back to you.
