September 17: Do All to the Glory of God

Scripture:
“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV)

Points:

  1. Every act of life can be worship — if done for God’s glory.
  2. Glorifying God means reflecting His worth in our attitude and choices.
  3. Small actions, when done in love and faith, become meaningful.
  4. The Christian life isn’t divided into sacred and secular — all belongs to God.
  5. Living for His glory gives purpose to every moment.

Poem: Everything for Him

It’s not just songs that lift You high.
It’s not just prayers or Sunday pews.
It’s how I eat, how I forgive.
It’s how I work, how I respond.
It’s every breath that gives You praise.

When no one sees, You still are near.
When tasks feel small, You still are great.
When hearts grow dull, You still deserve.
So I will shape my every step
To match the worth You always hold.

Your glory shines in humble acts.
In washed feet, whispered thanks, and grace.
In open doors and patient words.
In shared meals and honest days.
In silent prayers behind the scenes.

So let my heart be aimed at You.
Let motives bend to bring You fame.
Let glory be the reason why
I choose the good, forgive the wrong,
And shine with joy in all I do.

This life is Yours from start to end.
No corner kept, no day left plain.
You are the goal behind my work.
You are the reason that I breathe.
Let all I do reflect Your name.

Prayer:
Lord, may everything I do today bring glory to You. Let me serve, speak, and live in ways that honor You and point others to Your greatness. Amen.
