Do your daily actions bring glory and honor to God?

Have you ever considered that your actions either glorify God or disappoint Him. In the parable of the talents, the Lord Jesus taught that two of His team did what He asked, and brought glory to God. The third one refused to obey Him, so His Lord called him a wicked and lazy servant (Matthew 25). The Apostle Paul taught this principle to the church in Corinth: “So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God” 

(1 Corinthians 10:31, AMP). This means that God is watching the decisions that you make on a daily basis, and you please Him when you choose to do things for the honor and glory of God. Are you bringing glory to God in your daily life, or are you bringing credit to yourself? Are you a good and faithful servant, or are you a wicked and lazy servant? Only you and God know this for sure!

A gift for you, and make haste to do this!

Psalm 119:60 says: “I made haste, and delayed not to keep Thy commandments”. The ERV translation says it this way: “Without wasting any time, I hurried back to obey your commands”. David never delayed to keep God’s commandments. He was quick to listen and obey. And when he would sin and miss the mark, he was quick to repent. He made “haste” to obey. The word Haste means: “rapidity of motion, to urge on, to move or act swiftly”. In a negative way, being hasty without first doing the needed research can be destructive. However, what David was saying was that he didn’t hesitate to do God’s will and obey His commandments. He wouldn’t allow anything to cause him to delay in obeying his commandments. Delay is good when one is considering investing in something important, when one is considering getting married, when one is considering what job or business they are going to dedicate their lives to. Things like that go better when we take our time and dedicate the necessary research or training. However, when you read and obey His word, you are on sure footing! David knew that obeying God’s wisdom and commandments kept him in the righteous environment that provided life, health, provision, protection, wisdom, grace and favor. In most things, think and get research before you act.  However, never delay in obeying God’s commands. This is life and health to you!
