Magnify The Lord

Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31

Do you magnify the Lord or your problems? Think about that for a moment. Sure all of us have bad days and sometimes sorrow is deeply justified such as the case of a dear young friend of mine who recently lost her newlywed husband after less than two years of marriage.  Now that is grief unimaginable. But otherwise how is your magnification of the Lord?

At the car repair shop when they try to cheat you? At a restaurant when they forget you or service is slow? When a person with a really long neck sits right in front of you a movie theater? When you get a slow clerk at a store who would rather visit with friends than assist you? When you get your food and the order is wrong or it is cooked improperly? In slow traffic when you are late for an appointment? 

Point being, there will be things that tend to send you over the edge but it is how you react to them that matters. Try with God’s help to be a light for him in every situation you encounter. 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus I have faltered at times and popped a cork and not set a Christian example. Forgive me but help me walk as if you were right by me because you are. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
