1 Corinthians 10:31, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
A couple of days ago the Lord laid it on my heart to publish a blog talking about the “whatsoevers” we have in our lives. Interestingly enough it’s what was laid on my heart again this morning. I’m beginning to feel that this is an area in which God wants us to pay attention.
Service for God is actually an attitude of the heart – it is wrapped up in living in God’s presence and seeking to live a life that is pleasing to Him. It’s reading His Word and doing what He says. If you are in the place that God wants you to be and doing the job He has called you to do, — your life will be blessed and God will reward you.
The ‘whatsoever’ in our lives are different for each one of us. You may have a job to go to each day. My work may consist of washing the dishes and cleaning the house. You may be a teacher, a nurse, a professional of some kind — makes NO difference in God’s sight. He is looking at the heart.
Every day you have the opportunity of great service for God if the ‘whatsoever’ you are doing is done in an attitude of thanksgiving and praise to the Lord. God is no respecter of persons. He blesses all those that seek to serve Him and to put Him first in their lives. What you are doing is not as important as the fact that you are doing it ‘for the glory of God’.
Focus on God in your life. Focus on the thought that ‘whatsoever’ you do today, you are going to do your best and you are going to do it in the attitude of doing it for the Lord. Thank Him for His presence and thank Him for His love as you walk through this day of ‘service’ for Him!
