Living for the Glory of God!

Back when I was growing up, Mama had a rule about supper time—whatever landed on your plate, you ate it with gratitude. No fussin’, no complainin’, just appreciation for the blessing before you. And let me tell you, when Aunt Judy showed up with her vegetable soup, it was a real test of faith, because back then I would rather have a mayonnaise sandwich. 

That reminds me of 1 Corinthians 10:31—“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” Now, Paul wasn’t just talking about supper time. He was reminding us that every little thing we do—whether we’re working, resting, laughing, or even enduring Aunt Judy’s vegetable soup as a kid—ought to point back to the goodness of God.

See, life isn’t just about the big, grand gestures. It’s about the small, everyday moments done with the right heart. Holding a door open, showing kindness to the cashier, loving folks even when they get on your last nerve—when you do those things with a heart full of God’s love, that’s worship.

So, whatever you do today—whether you’re working hard, drinking coffee, or just trying to survive rush-hour traffic—do it with joy, with love, and with the kind of gratitude that makes folks wonder what’s different about you. Because when we live like that, we are not just making our days better—we’re pointing folks straight to Jesus.
