daily devotionals for july 8th today's scripture reading will be first corinthians 10 verse 31
therefore whether you eat or drink or whatever you do do all to the glory of god isn't that
exciting you know it doesn't matter what we are engaged in we should do all things to glorify god
i remember when i was living in alaska and the lord asked me what i wanted in a husband and
well of course i didn't want one and then he had me make a list of what i wanted in one and
reluctantly i made one but the last thing i put on my list was that we this suspected husband of mine
which turned out to be bob jones but i said that in all things that we would do we would minister
together and all things we did it would be to glorify the lord and i believe that bob and i
did that um but we should be doing all things as unto the lord to give him glory to give him
honor you know are we kingdom minded uh reading here i think it's the next scripture
yeah verse 32 says give no offense either to the jew or to the greeks or to the church of god
just as i also please all men in all things not seeking my own profit but the profit of many
that they may be saved see paul had a kingdom mindset and we i believe sometimes we're so
narrow-minded we only think about what's in it for me you know how is this going to help me
how's it going to help my family even in our prayers do we pray you know kingdom-mindedly
are we looking at the big picture you know i like to ask the lord
what's on his mind what's on his heart and believe me he has everything on his
mind and on his heart but how does he want me to pray okay i want a kingdom mindset
not that i don't pray for my family of course i do but you know we need to be mindful of the things
of the lord and do all things unto the lord you know we each of us have
things in our daily life that we need to do it's like nobody can take your place you ever
think about that if what's that movie it's a wonderful life remember george bailey he was
he was shown what it would be like if he wasn't there remember he was going to jump off the bridge
well had he done that and died okay all these things that he experienced in his life they would
have never taken place see only you can do what god has called you to do nobody else can do it
so in our daily lives whether if it's making the bed if it's get our kids off to school
if it's preparing a meal if it's going to work can we find joy in that and do it as unto the
lord because we really need to do that it's a powerful thing there's many things that we may not
want to do or like to do but try to find joy in it and glorify god in it because he made a way
for you so that you can do it and you can fulfill what he has commissioned you to do nobody else can
i can't do what my sister does or my brothers you know and they cannot do what god's called
me to do we are all special in his eyes and he's called you to do many things for him so do it with
joy in your heart do it to glorify him okay until next time and hey don't forget we're holding the
