So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (I Corinthians 10:31 ESV)
Opportunities
We tend to think that only MAJESTIC things can give glory to God. We tend to think that only EARTH-SHAKING things can give glory to God. We tend to think that only HEADLINE-MAKING things can give glory to God.
But we can give glory to God when we do mundane things like eating and drinking.
Those everyday, unnoticed, un-marqueed, un trumpet-announced things like taking a bite of pizza, or drinking a sip of tea, unsweetened or sweetened.
That is why Paul adds the phrase, “whatever you do.”
God is big enough to take glory from us in every situation.
He gave us life, so everything we do can be directed at His glory.
He saved us, so everything we do can be directed at His glory.
He protects us, provides for us, guides us, teaches us, strengthens us, and enables us. So everything we do can be directed at His glory.
Praise God for your next hamburger… or your next glass of water.
