A thick brown gooey substance oozed into my hand. Just moments before, I had been intrigued by a new shampoo in our bathroom. Instead of having any flavor to it, like most shampoos, this shampoo simply had the words "Extra Strength" on it. My curiosity was spiked, and I couldn't resist using this shampoo. As soon as the shampoo hit my hand, the scent also hit my nose. I cowered back in disgust, this new shampoo smelled so strong and horrible. This shampoo didn't look like it was smelled bad, but in this case, its looks were deceiving.
Aren't our looks deceiving? We might look like we do everything we do for the glory of God. But do we really? Do we wake up every morning, thanking God for giving us a chance to sleep safely in our beds last night? Do we wake up, determined to walk for God's glory, to talk for His glory, to eat for His glory? Do we wake up, ready to do all of our appointments for the day, anticipated or dreaded appointments, all for God's glory? Do we really? Or do we wake up, recalling all of the appointments for the day, struggling to get through them all? 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” This verse isn't saying, "So when you go to church, do it for the glory of God." This verse is saying when you do anything, eat, drink, whatever you do, do it for the glory of God. It doesn't matter if we're riding in a car, bathing our pets, or cleaning the house, we need to do all things for the glory of God. God gave us the ability to do all these things, can't we do all these things for His glory?
