FOR YOU LORD

By Rick Mathes

1 Corinthians 10:31 (NASB77) ³¹  Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

I can speak for me that just taking my next breath is because of Him and for Him. I don’t deserve even my next meal so when I’m blessed at the dinner table I eat for the glory of God. It’s not just the physical food I need to fuel my body, it is also and especially the food from the Word of God to strengthen my soul to face another day I didn’t deserve for Him and His glory.

At the last supper He took a cup of wine and asked that when we drink of His blood, we remember Him. Considering tht most of the earth and most of our bodies and for that matter, the sup of wine is water, it’s an important thing to do: drink and remember Him as the way, the truth and the life.

We can go on but for the sake of brevity, just do all things for His honor and glory because He upholds it all. For example, why don’t we spin of this spinning earth? Why do we do just the opposite? What is gravity? It’s because He is upholding us in all things as He choses to.

We only pass this way one time so we are encouraged to give no offense to anyone. Even when we are personally disrespected, just let it go. My favorite verse in the KJV is, “It came to pass.” Believe me; it is better to lose the battle so that we might win the war.

There is no second chance to live our lives as we know it so we need to take care that we please all people as is most appropriate. What can man do to separate us from the love of God? Nothing! Don’t let them take your Jesus away. Don’t look back or forward. You only have this day that you can live for your Lord.

Remember, we are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Some who are not saved quite honestly hate th person they are and everyone around them. But those who carry the love of the Lord in their hearts know they only hae one day at a time because He only gives us enough grace for today. Doctor Bob and Bill W. had it right when they insisted that you bless he Lord one day at a time.

Lord, this one’s for you!
