1 Corinthians 10:31 so whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.
I'm so competitive. I enjoy winning and feel like a failure when I don't. I'm unhappy to play second fiddle. If I start something, I like to finish it.
It's strange then, why I sometimes slack off where The Lord is concerned. Winning takes intention and discipline. A race is a good metaphor for the journey I'm on. My crucial disciplines are prayer , worship and study of God's word . I cannot grow without it. I can't go at them half heartedly and expect to make progress. This isn't a stroll we are on, but a full out run! This is the life race we're meant to be on! Everything we do should be for God's glory, not our own. If an action won't honor God, I must refuse to do it. Persist in Bible study and prayer. It is an exercise of the soul.
Satan is ready to trip is every chance he can. We need to be ready!
Father help me to put all my energy and obedience toward pleasing you. Don't let me grow lazy. Like an athlete reading for a race, help me to plunge myself into the discipline of the Word and the delight of praye. With Your help, it is a race I can win. Guide me to do all things to bring glory and honor to You Amen
For it is WITH God ALL things are possible.
Have a BLESSED day!
Do everything for the glory of God
