Whatever You Do

1/20/2023

In the book of Colossians, we’re reminded about what’s important - glorifying God. “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” Colossians 3:17.

We’re to glorify God in all that we do. This also means that, if we’re doing something that isn’t glorifying to God, we shouldn’t do that (no matter what it is). Usually, this is sin, but it’s not always sin that we have to stop doing. Sometimes it’s something that doesn’t please God, yet probably wouldn’t be classified as a sin.

This is a type of sacrifice that God calls us to do. We sacrifice, not because it’s a chore, but because we love the God who has saved us.

What are things that you are being called to sacrifice in order to please God? How are you going to be held accountable for this, so that you continue to reject what isn’t good and hold on to what is good (”Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” 1 Thessalonians 5:21)?

Psalm 90:1-2: "1 LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."

Whenever you have trouble, go to God for help and guidance.
He always was, is, and will be. He knows everything that will ever happen, and nothing takes Him by surprise.

Redeem the Time for the Days are Evil

Ephesians 5:13-17: “But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: ‘Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.’ See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”

When we know what God’s will is, we know how to spend our time. Time is drifting away, time which we don’t get back. There’s so many different things we can do with our time. Is it productive for God’s kingdom? Is it what we’re supposed to be doing? Is it useful? Is it important? All these questions are answered by one simple question, one filter you can make all your decisions through: What is the will of God for my life?

When you can answer this one question, you’ll know what you need to do with the time God has given you. Satan wants to distract us from what God’s will is, so it’s important to know what God’s will is for your life.
