All For His Glory

As we end this year of 2008 and set our goals or resolutions for 2009, I am encouraging and reminiding myself of this one simple phrase as I prepare for 2009: It's All For His Glory. Simply stated, I am keeping in mind that everything I do is to always be for God's glory. Why should we have this mindset? The answer is simple.
Our salvation is for His glory:
Eph 1:11-12 (NIV) In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of His glory.
His created works are for His glory:
Psa 19:1 (NIV) A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Miraculous works were / are done for His glory:
John 9:1-3 (NIV) As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3 "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.
Our good works, which we do only with His help, are for His glory:
Phil 1:11 (NIV) filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.
In fact, all we do is to be for His glory -- that can be a scary thought, Don't you think?
1 Cor 10:31 (NIV) So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
EVERYthing is for His glory:
Rom 11:36 (NIV) For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

Let your life, actions, deeds and words be All for His Glory....God bless.
