Will What You Ask God For Bring Him Glory?
Good Morning,
On this day, October 6, this email comes to minister to you. Happy Wednesday! How are you doing this morning? Its a wonderful day to be a child of God. When was the last time you overwhelmed your problems with praise to God? Times when you take your attention off of the problems surrounding you, and offer total praise to the God who can bring you through. When was the last time you opened your mouth to bless God and not to complain to Him? Times when you thank Him for who He is and all He has done. It is easy to complain when things are not going the way you would hope. It is easy to gripe and moan about what you do not have but someone else does. How often do you praise God for blessing someone else? You do realize God is pleased when we are able to celebrate with our brothers and sisters? If you can praise God for what He has done for others, then you are displaying to God how much you b! elieve He can do the same for you.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. When someone around you receives a blessing from the Lord, how does it make you feel? When a friend gets what you have been praying for, how do you react? Are you filled with anger and jealousy when a family member experiences God's overflow? Many times in life, the thing(s) we ask God for do not come when we desire for them to come. Sometimes we find ourselves surrounded by people who are being blessed with abundance while we are waiting in anticipation. My friend, whatever the case may be, there's a question you must answer. Will What You Ask God For Bring Him Glory? Is God's glory your primary reason for asking? Will your request cause people to praise God or praise you? The Bible declares in 1 Corinthians 10:31 - Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to th! e glory of God. In all that we do, the glory of God should be our top priority. The applauds of man are temporary. The same ones who cheer for you today, could be the same ones who scorn you tomorrow.
My brother, my sister, Will What You Ask God For Bring Him Glory? Are you asking because someone else has it, or do you want it to edify the body of Christ? Will your request bless the people of God or just you? Is your request only for increasing your bank account or for supplying meat in the house of God? The Bible declares in Colossians 3:23 - And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Beloved, your place of employment is for more than a biweekly or monthly paycheck. God does not need your job to bless you. He also has you there to be a light shinig for Him. Your complaining dampens the brightest of your light (Philippians 2:14). Will What You Ask God For Bring Him Glory? Each time you ask God to do something on your behalf, ask yourself why you want it done. P! rayer for Today: Father, in all that I do and with all that I ask for, please let my request bring glory to Your name. In Jesus' name ... Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: 2 Corinthians 4:6
May God Bless you at Your point of need!
To God Be The Glory!!!
