For the Glory of the Lord
October 16, 2019 – When I pray, do I seek my benefit or for God to be glorified? Do I pray for others for their benefit or for God’s glory? Anything I ask for should have the desired result of glorifying God.
We pray for God’s glory.
We live for God’s glory.
We intercede for God’s glory.
We give for God’s glory.
We minister for God’s glory.
We go for God’s glory.
We stay for God’s glory.
We love for God’s glory.
We pray for God’s glory.
We live for God’s glory.
We intercede for God’s glory.
We give for God’s glory.
We minister for God’s glory.
We go for God’s glory.
We stay for God’s glory.
We love for God’s glory.

Son, this concept is only now really beginning to sink in beyond the surface of my thoughts. I suppose it all boils down to what it means to offer God our true worship. Paul encouraged us to be a living sacrifice which reflects our desire to worship Him. In his song writing, David states that our repentance and obedience validate our sacrifice.
___________________________
For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise, I would give it; You do not take pleasure in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, God, you will not despise. By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
-Psalm 51:16-19 (NASB)

We cannot honor God with our lives if we don’t even think of him throughout the day. When we allow the things of this world to capture our attention and serve as idols, we do so with intent, whether we would admit it or not. Likewise, we will not glorify God by accident. Worship is always intentional. What are your plans for today? Will you simply do what you do, or will you dedicate all you do to the glory of God? It’s your choice!
