Our Speech and Service Should Bring Him Glory

“Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

I don’t know about you but I believe the Lord is certainly trying to tell me something about the words that come from my mouth. I’ve come across several verses lately that impress on my heart how very important our speech is and I pray that I will take whatever lesson He desires to teach me to heart. I pray that I would be mindful of my every word and deed today so that God would truly be glorified. Yet often what comes out of my mouth is self serving or even destructive. I admit I am often guilty of speaking before I think. I want to please my Father with the words of my mouth today!

This is the second verse He’s directed me to in the last few days that has to do with speaking. I truly want my life to be all about Him, not about me yet so many times I speak or act without thinking and sadly often those things I say and do don’t bring him the glory and honor He is worthy of.
