1 Corinthians 10:31. “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye all to the glory of God.”
FOR GOD’S GLORY. What difference does it make to God if it’s chicken or a steak? The difference comes when to my brother’s life, a challenge it does make. So, for his conscience, joy and peace, and God’s glory too, I will take a different kind; another will I choose.
It matters not to me if from the shambles or market we do choose,
A roast of pork, or beef or lamb, or even duck or goose. But to him and to my God above, whose glory I do seek; My choices are important, for his conscience may be weak.
God’s glory is the point; His honor, worth and praise Are to be my point of reference and the reason for my days; For here on earth, the tensions and the challenges of life, Can be of value to my soul, and to my brother, light.
O God of grace and glory, O God of truth and might; Please grant to me the wisdom, to always walk in light. Give me the care and kindness within this soul of mine, To bless those all around me, all glory will be Thine.
“Father of all compassion and grace, I need to always consider how others may be affected by my words and actions. Keep me from ever having an “I don’t care what they think” attitude. Give me the grace of sensitivity that I may know how to keep from offending another person’s conscience and thus take away glory from Thee that should come from both of us. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
