I have created some things of which I am not very proud. I don’t even want my name associated with the finished product. And yet, there are some things that I have created that I am very proud of and want my name to be clearly associated with these things. How would our approach to doing certain things change if our name was publicly displayed on the things we have done, like a neon sign or a banner in the sky? I think that we would be far more careful to make a praise worthy product or conduct a praise worthy service.
I Corinthians 10:31 says, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” When we are motivated to bring glory to God in everything that we do, selfish motives are removed, and conflict is reduced. When we seek to glorify God in what we do, we will do our best work and offer our best service. God is worthy of our best efforts due to His majestic nature and His awesome grace toward us.
