Giving God Glory
HAPPY NEW YEAR!Starting at the beginning of this year my Pastor began teaching from the book Purpose Driven Life written by Rick Warren.....as a church family we studied this book back in 2004 but God must have instructed Pastor to teach it again. I said I would try to make it to every night but it hasn't happened.
I remembered back in 2004 when Pastor right told the congregation he wanted us to be in church every evening for 40 nights in a row.....I literally thought he had lost his mind. After 40 nights (some missed due to evening classes) I felt I had learned a lot and I was grateful to have been able to participate. Now that the time is here again I am still anxious to attend class nightly...its always a pleasure to be in the House of the Lord to learn more about his word. I know I have grown spiritually over the last few years....God has brought me through a lot of trials in life.....I know he will forever be with me.
One of the lessons is about giving glory to God in all you do......either early in the morning or late in the evening. The book tells you to do things that would give God glory. Pastor asked the question " are you giving God glory with the music you listen to, the clothes you wear, the TV shows you watch all hours of the night, and the food in which you indulge. All of these questions had me thinking and wondering....is God happy with the things I am doing in my life. Humans were put on Earth for God's pleasure. He created us in HIS image....he made us, and shaped us into the individual you see everyday in the mirror. I am PROUD to be a child of God and I promise to do my best to do things that glorify him. Even if that means coming out of my comfort zone.
