“Eat for God’s glory”

“Therefore, whether You eat or drink, or whatever You do, do it all to the glory of God. I Corinthians 10:31

Verse reflections:  Today I am going to do everything to lift God up, to glorify Him.  I think that is the root of my issues.  When I focus on me instead of Him things magnify, the issues get bigger.  When I focus on God I realize my issues are just a grain of sand on a huge beach.  And somehow, I begin looking outside of myself and I see others in need.  Again, I realize I have no needs, I have no issues.  The mother who can’t feed her children, who has no car.  The child who is terminally ill… those are issues.  So today whatever I eat or drink I do it for God.  YES!! This is what God plus 1 is all about.  I cannot glorify God when my body is not healthy.  I must dedicate every bite to God, to glorifying God.  What would happen if I stopped right before I began to eat, raised my glass and toasted God, “to Your glory God”?  I think I would look down before I raised my glass to make sure all the foods I chose and the serving sizes would glorify Him.  What a great idea to add to my eating processes.

Prayer:  Father, You always put my day in perspective when I read Your word.  Right now I am not thinking about any work issues, any problems I am thinking about You.  I am excited about toasting You with the next thing I eat or drink.  I am thinking about glorifying You, worshipping You, honoring You with my food and my body.  Thank You Lord for this perspective.  We are going to have a wonderful day and I hope in just one little way I will help Your day shine a little brighter and thus we will make someone else here on earth have a better day.  Here’s to Your glory God.  I love You.
