Shine

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. (Matt. 5:16)


  So after reading this verse this morning I thought to myself, how much do I do to give glory to God and how much do I do for myself? It is funny how much "me glory" there is within the church. This concept hit me hard early last year as I saw a video called, "Mechurch" (You can check it out here). I know there have been many times in the past that I have done things for others to see and completely forgetting the most important thing, what does God see. 
  So as this day goes on today think to yourself, "what can you do today that will give praise to God?" Don't get caught into the trap that I have so many times that we do things in "the name of God" or "for God's glory" when truthful that is a lie and we are doing it for ourself. To make us feel good or to bring attention to ourself. As it says in Matthew, we should do things so that people will praise God. Do get caught in the web of "me glory" but live a life of "He glory" today!
