Devotional - March 18, 2011

I Corinthians 10:31
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it
all for the glory of God.” (NIV)

Reflection
Sometimes it's hard to say we can “do all for the glory of God,” when in a real sense our bodies have been created weak. However, our God is compassionate and loving. Take heart, and know that through our sacrifice each passing hour we are feeding, educating, clothing and even housing children who cannot do this for themselves.

Therefore, instead of grumbling, let us allow the Lord take charge of what we cannot do. Let us ask God to give us the grace to overcome what our bodies cannot.

Let us glorify God in everything.

For Kids
God says that even when we eat food or when we drink, we should do it
“for God's glory.” That means anything we do should show other people
how awesome God is and how much we love Him. It means that when we
do good things, that we don't get the credit for it because we're doing those
things for God. As you go through today, say out loud what you are doing
“for God's glory.” For example, if you are making your bed, say “I am
making my bed for God's glory!” Or if you are sharing with your sister,
say “I am sharing with you for God's glory!” Or “I am eating rice and
beans for God's glory!” If you are doing something like whining or
throwing a temper tantrum or disrespecting your mom and dad, are you
doing that thing for God's glory? Try to think of special things you can do
for God's glory.
