To God Be the Glory

When you have considered the question Jesus is asking us "What do you want Me to do for you?", we also have to ask ourselves: "Why do I do what I do?". The Bible says

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men," (Colossians 3:23).

Are you searching for praise from others when you should be seeking to do what you do so your Father in Heaven can say to you: ... 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' Matthew 25:21.

Oh Father please forgive me for wanting praise for myself instead of giving it to You. You who are worthy of all my praise and thanksgiving. You are the One who blesses me beyond my understanding. Please create in me a clean heart as I stand before Your throne of grace. In Jesus name, Amen
