1st Peter 2:16. “As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.” EVERYTHING REFLECTS ON GOD. Waking moments give a message through my facial expressions. First words tell of an attitude more than giving information Early morning actions leave an impression on the minds of others – Is the beginning of each day a good reflection on my Father?
Choices are made in the morning, about things needing to be done. Careful or careless consideration happens before leaving home. I am free to act and choose, which is right or too much bother – Are the things I do each day a good reflection on my Father?
God chose me to be His servant, to do what He has planned. It is important that my service pleases Him, not what pleases man. From morning to night, I must be guided in everything by His Word – Are the things I have done already, reflecting well upon my Lord?
It would in appropriate – let alone be very unwise – For me to act independently, living only before men’s eyes – For each attitude and action, each thing both seen and heard – Are bound to leave an impression or reflection on my God.
“Whether in attitude or expression, I pray, O Lord God, that I may honor Thee this day. I haven’t spoken to anyone yet this morning but before the day is done, I’ll probably interact with a lot of people. Keep me from independent actions and careless words that in any way dishonor Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
