The reason for everything

Jesus honored God by fulfilling His purpose on earth. We bring God glory the same way. There are many ways to bring glory to God but they can be summarized in God’s five purposes for your life -

1. We bring God glory by worship him.

2. We bring God glory by loving other believers.

3. We bring God glory by becoming like Christ.

4. We bring God glory by serving others with our gifts.

5. We bring God glory by telling others about Him.

- Wonderful God, it is my deepest desire to bring you glory. Help me to see your glory all around me today. Nothing would exist without you. It’s all for your glory!

Thoughts

- Christ is the reason for the season.

- Obedience to God is the key to freedom.

-The spirit’s keen paring knife enhances a Christian’s fruit-bearing life.

- No one who is abandoned to God will feel abandoned by God.

Think it over…

When God is about to do something great, he starts with a difficulty.  When he is about to do something truly magnificent, he starts with an impossibility…Armin Gesswei

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion.  He hardly knows which is which.  He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.  To him he's always doing both. - James A. Michener

Many a humble soul will be amazed to find that the seed it sowed in weakness, in the dust of daily life, has blossomed into immortal flowers under the eye of the Lord. - Harriet Beecher Stowe

Ephesians 6:12  

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Thoughts on Today's Verse....

The battle we face is not a physical one. Instead, it is a spiritual battle with powers that we do not easily see and which are very powerful. We shouldn't dismiss this as an imaginary battle or as an irrelevant struggle. Just as clearly as Satan was crouching at Cain's door, desiring to have him, so he crouches at our door (Gen. 4:7). He will use his forces of evil to do all he can to defeat, destroy, or corrupt us. We must take this war seriously and recognize the spiritual power of our foe.
