22.k. “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, or self.”

 

 

1 Corinthians 10:31   So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

 Colossians 3:17    And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

 1 Peter 4:11   whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

 Colossians 3:23   Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

 Philippians 1:10    so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

Do you give thought to “all that you do”, you are doing for the glory of God?  How much of each of our days are spent without the thought?  If God and His Word are not consistently within our thoughts we can be certain then honoring and glorifying Jesus Christ is not being honored.  We may do good things that honor Him but if the intent is not to honor Him by what we are doing then we miss honoring and glorifying Him.  A good place to start is by practicing the presence of Jesus Christ.  For sure He is always present but are our actions, thoughts, and tendencies reflecting we are aware.
