Who’s up for a challenge?
Not just any challenge—but a challenge that has the power to shift your perspective and reorient your life around what truly matters.
Here it is:
Are you living for the glory of God?
It’s a simple question, yet it cuts deep. From the mundane to the meaningful—whether you’re sipping your morning coffee, scrolling through Instagram, laughing with friends, or dealing with a difficult coworker—ask yourself: Does this bring glory to God?
The apostle Paul lays it out plainly in 1 Corinthians 10:31:
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
Yes, whatever you do. God doesn’t just care about the big, spiritual moments. He’s deeply interested in the small, seemingly insignificant ones too. Why? Because you were created for His glory.
Isaiah 43:7 confirms this:
“Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”
That’s your purpose. That’s your calling. If we’re not living to glorify God, we’re settling for less than what we were made for.
Let’s bring this closer to home:
At Work or School
You overhear gossip, someone getting mocked behind their back, or maybe there’s peer pressure to speak or act in ways that don’t honor God. What do you do?
Ask yourself: Would Jesus be pleased with my words?
Ephesians 4:29 guides us:
“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up… that it may benefit those who listen.”
Sometimes, glorifying God looks like walking away. Sometimes, it means speaking up. Either way, your choice matters.
At Home
Maybe your parents are asking for help, your partner needs support, or your siblings are testing your patience. It’s easy to get annoyed or lazy.
But Scripture reminds us in Colossians 3:23:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
Even folding laundry or being kind to a grumpy sibling can be an act of worship if done with the right heart.
On Social Media
Before you post that story, comment on that thread, or like that reel—pause and ask:
Will this reflect God’s light? Will this bring Him glory?
Jesus said in Matthew 5:16:
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Your digital footprint should echo the heartbeat of heaven.
| Consider This: • If Jesus scrolled through your day, would He smile at how you lived it? • Are there areas in your life where you’ve never considered God’s glory? • What’s one change you can make today to better reflect Him? 1. Live with intention. Every action, thought, and word can either glorify God or detract from His light in you. 2. Pause before you respond. Whether online or in person, let your words and actions be filtered through: Would Jesus be pleased? 3. Remember your purpose. You were created for God’s glory—not applause, not approval, not popularity—but for Him. Let’s choose daily to live lives that make Jesus proud and heaven rejoice. |
