Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
Like 1 Corinthians 10:31 where we are taught “whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, (we are to) do all to the glory of God” Colossians 3:17 teaches whatever we do we do for the Lord! Some have called this the Golden Rule for the Believer’s Behavior.
Do you have the mindset? Do you have the mindset that no matter what you are involved in it is to be being done for God and for His glory? Whether it is work or play, activities with family, friends, neighbors, or strangers, whatever it is that you are doing is to be done for God and His glory.
It may be possible you need a little help here to get to this place so I would encourage you to pray a prayer from Psalms – Psalm 19:14. It says, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.”
May we today do all – everything – doing whatever we do and say be for God and for His glory!!
A March to Remember
For March 17, let us remember Hebrews 2:17. Hebrews 2:17 says, “Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.”
To represent man the Messiah had to become a man. In becoming a man and then taking our sins upon Him (as He did no sin) He took all the wrath of God that God had for our sins. Jesus is the wrath absorber.
On March 17 we encourage you to read Matthew 17 and John 17 to recall our Lord’s transfiguration and to read His prayer in John 17.
