Whatever you do...

"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him"

Colossians 3: 17 (New King James Version)

"whatever you do".... That pretty much covers everything :)

Every single word, every single action is to be done in the name of the Lord Jesus , giving thanks to God the Father through Him !Have we ever kept every word or action of ours under such scrutiny ? We ought to ! Everything that we do is to be done in the name of Jesus. And do you know why ? For the glory of God !

Sometimes we forget the power in the name of Jesus. It is not to be taken in vain...its not to be joked about ! When we speak we have the authority of being ambassadors of Christ ! Now every word or deed is to be done in His name for His glory with thanksgiving.

How many idle words have we spoken....How many actions of ours were not acceptable in His sight ?

We read in Acts 3: 1-10 about Peter and John who saw a man who was lame from his mother's womb ...And do you know what they told him ? "Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” and we know what followed ... Peter took him by the right hand and lifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength and he began to walk , leap and praise God. And people around were fille with wonder and amazement.

Can you imagine how blessed we and those around us would be if every word and deed of ours were done in the name of Jesus ?

But instead we let unwanted words and deeds to enter into God's Holy temple . We want what we percieve to be 'our desires' for 'our lives' to be fulfilled... We forget that we are His... This life in this world is temporary.... We are working for the Lord of Lord, the King of Kings... He is the great I AM.

Want to know while we wallow in our own selfish thoughts what is God's plans and desire for us ?

We read in John 14 : 12-14 ""“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.If you ask anything in My name, I will do it"

In His Name...In His Name....

May our every thought,word and deed be acceptable in His sight and be in accordance with His Holy will.

God Bless
