A resolution to glorify God in all things.

 1 Corinthians 10:31

"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."\

The most important aspect in how I am going to work at this is by creating a schedule. Yes, I am going to schedule my life during the summer. Now a scheduled life doesn’t automatically mean a God glorifying life, and not have a schedule doesn’t mean you aren’t glorifying God, but personally, when days on end have nothing concrete going on, and I have no plan, my sinful, lazy flesh takes control. I want to be spirit driven, so I’m going to have a plan, starting Wednesday. Tuesday I’m not starting my little schedule because I’ll be up late tonight and then sleep much of the day away.

The tough question is: How do all things to (or for) the glory of God? Well, first I’m going to pray a lot. I want my life to be spirit filled so that I will be more likely to just automatically follow in God’s plan. Also, I should be doing all things in that I can honestly and whole-heartedly being praising and thanking God. (But not as an incessant duty.) I don’t think I am being crazy (or at least too crazy) when I wonder how I can do things like playing video games to the glory of God. Am I wrong to just say that as long as I’m thanking God for the game, I’m okay? Well currently, I don’t feel that that alone would lead to a God fearing life, and so I want to have the majority of my game time be for social action that puts time into relationships. Ah, and having friendships that actually bring glory to God is an entire different topic. Are all the friendships (or even acquaintanceships) glorifying God? And how does such a thing even happen?

Even I’m led to think that I might just be over analyzing things, but when it comes to matters of the spirit, it must be thought on, so long as our thinking doesn’t pull us away from God or our time with God.

Got a little off topic there. The point is, I want to do a U-turn and use all this extra summer time to not only relax, but to glorify God and grow closer to Him. Summer Mindset is a thought coming from Colossians 3:2. The effects of what happens when the wrong mindset occurs has definitely happened to me already. It is worth a read.
