COLOSSIANS 3:17

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

TO PONDER

Let our words be right, and our actions upright. Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus — Begin with him, and end with him; invoke his name, and pray for his direction and support. Doing everything in the name of God, and referring everything to his glory, is as rational as it is pious. All our actions are to be accompanied with thanksgiving. We are to engage in every duty, not only in the name of Christ, but with thankfulness for strength and reason; for the privilege of acting so that we may honour him; and with a grateful remembrance of the mercy of God that gave us such a Saviour to be an example and guide. 

PRAYER:

Lord God, we come to you, not because you require and command it, but with a deep desire to honour you. Your authority is our warrant, your glory the aim of all our actions and words. Let all we do be in harmony with what you have revealed to us in Jesus Christ that our lives may flow with thanksgiving that brings honour to your name. Amen.
