LIVING FOR GOD

 I Corinthians 10:31 NKJV says; "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."


The apostle Paul reminds us that our whole life, not just some parts, must be dedicated to the glory of God. Even in the smallest things like eating and drinking, we are called to honor God. It means there is no division between “spiritual life” and “normal life.”

Everything we do—how we work, speak, dress, handle money, treat others—must reflect God’s holiness and bring Him praise. Living for God is not limited to church services or prayers only. It is a lifestyle of total surrender and obedience. This is the true purpose of life: to glorify the One who gave us life.

Why should you live for God and not for yourself? Because God created you for a purpose. You are not your own, and the hard truth is—you did not choose to be born. Your life was designed and given by God, and therefore it belongs to Him.

The world teaches a different message. It says: “Live happily, follow your heart, chase pleasures.” But these pleasures are temporary and have corrupted many lives. Some have made money their god. Yet Jesus said, “You cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24 NKJV). When money becomes your master, you are no longer living for God.

True satisfaction only comes from living in God’s purpose. Doing God’s will does not take life away from you. Instead, it gives meaning. Jesus said, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matthew 16:25 NKJV). Living for God means choosing to serve Him, even when people or circumstances push you otherwise.

It means following His Word and commandments in everything you do. It means asking yourself in every decision: “Will this bring glory to God?” That is the true way to live.

Prayer: Lord, help me live for You daily, glorifying You in all I do.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
