1 Corinthians 10: 31 “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
I used to be one of those people that often would say: “Wow mate you are so talented.” Not anymore, these days whenever I see good work I say: “Wow mate, God gave you some talent there.” Why? Ah, because to God alone be the glory, we are dust without God! God giveth and He can taketh away, so don’t we for a second think we are all so academically intelligent or so great in our own. We could hit our heads really hard and just forget everything in an instant! Far fetched? Not even 0.1% of far fetched-ness lies there-in.
Psalms 103:
14 For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
Philippians 2:13 “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.”
Whether or not we want to admit it, all the laws of the lands were taken from scriptures! We would have been mere vagabonds without God and His Word, so we need to thank Him and give Him all the glory!
