 JANUARY 31 Doing Everything for God |
PRAYER. O Lord, when I perform acts of self-denial, accept them in reparation for my sins and for Your glory. |
|
THIS world is a very little thing to give
up for the next. Let us aim at the concisetent habit of mind of looking toward
God and rejoicing in the glory which
shall be revealed. In that case, whether we eat
or drink, or abstain, or whatever we do, we
shall do all for Him.
Let us aim at being true heirs of the promise. Let us aspire to be holy and undefiled, "blameless and harmless, in the midst of a perverse nation" (Phil 2:15). |
