Chapter 7- The Reason for Everything

"You are worthy our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." ~Revelation 4:11

How many were surprised to find that God's Glory is the reason for everything?


Because everything is for God's Glory, we have to ask ourselves 'How do I bring glory to God?' This chapter specifically names such things as worship, loving others, striving to become like Christ, sharing our talents with others, and telling others about God. If you take just a few minutes to really put some thought behind these items, what do you learn about yourself? Are you doing everything you can to fulfill your purpose?

Are you ready to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior? to pray the "Save Me" prayer? to turn your life over to God and REALLY live for Him?

God will give you what you need once you make the choice to live for him. You have to believe that. I often find myself praying that my faith is strong enough to guide me when Satan and my own imperfection blinds my path. I don't know what God's purpose is for my life, but I have made the decision to listen when God calls.

I'd like to offer a "Save Me" prayer for any who feel inclined to pray with me. "Jesus I believe in you and I receive you as Lord and Savior. Thank you Jesus for dying a painful death for my salvation. Walk with me through this earthly life, even when I forget how much I need you. Help me work for the Glory of God and remember me Lord." Amen.
