1 Corinthians 10:31 New International Version (NIV)
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do
it all for the glory of God.
As humans, we are often quick to quibble over things we feel
are important to us when others don't share our enthusiasm — especially food,
holidays, and special events. This problem is often more a sign of insecurity
than it is a mark of sincerity. We are to do what we do based on our commitment
to honor the Lord, not because others do it or approve of it. At the same time,
we want to be careful about judging others for what they do or do not
celebrate, eat, or drink. The bottom line when judging such things: Can we do
it to honor the Lord?
Thought for today
– Can I look past my ego to have a mental and emotional space for empathy and
compassion for others?
