Opportunity for Action
Day 3
Scripture Reading: Proverbs 15:28–16:9
Verse of the Day: "Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." —1 Corinthians 10:31
Reflection:
In 1 Corinthians 10:31, we are reminded that every action, no matter how small, can be an opportunity to glorify God. Whether in our words, work, or daily interactions, we are called to live with purpose, honoring God in everything we do. This verse invites us to approach each day as a chance to serve God through our actions, striving for excellence not for our own recognition, but for His glory.
Proverbs 15:28–16:9 offers a wealth of wisdom on how we can live this out. Proverbs 16:3, for example, says, “Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.” When we surrender our plans and actions to God, He brings clarity and guidance to our steps. This teaches us that God is interested in both our intentions and our actions. How we prepare our hearts before we act is just as important as the act itself.
Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.” We may have our own plans, but ultimately, God is the one who guides us on the right path. Recognizing this gives us the humility to approach every opportunity with dependence on Him. Each task, whether big or small, becomes a divine moment when we work for God's glory.
Prayer:
Father, help me to recognize each moment as an opportunity to serve and glorify You. Teach me to commit my works to You and trust that You will guide my steps. May my words, actions, and decisions reflect Your wisdom and bring glory to Your name. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Contemplation:
Take time today to reflect on how you can bring glory to God in your everyday actions. Are there tasks or situations where you’ve been acting out of routine or obligation rather than with purpose? Ask God to reveal how you can use these moments to serve Him better.
Action Step:
This week, intentionally approach your work, relationships, and decisions as opportunities to glorify God. Before starting any task, take a moment to commit it to the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance for how you can reflect His love and wisdom in what you do.
May you find joy and purpose in every opportunity for action, knowing that each step can bring glory to God.
Panimula:
Sa bawat araw, binibigyan tayo ng Diyos ng mga pagkakataon upang kumilos. Ang ating mga desisyon, aksyon, at mga salita ay mga paraan upang ipakita ang ating pananampalataya at pagsunod sa Kanya. Sa araw na ito, pag-aaralan natin ang kahalagahan ng bawat oportunidad na binibigay ng Diyos at paano natin ito magagamit para sa Kanyang kaluwalhatian.
Pagninilay:
Panalangin:
O Diyos, salamat sa mga pagkakataong binibigay Mo araw-araw upang kumilos para sa Iyong kaluwalhatian. Turuan Mo kami na maging maingat sa aming mga salita, at gabayan Mo ang aming mga plano at hakbang upang sila’y naaayon sa Iyong kalooban. Nawa’y sa bawat ginagawa namin, maging ito man ay maliit o malaki, ay magbigay luwalhati sa Iyo. Puspusin Mo kami ng Iyong Espiritu upang makita namin ang Iyong mga plano sa aming buhay at kumilos ayon sa Iyong layunin. Amen.
Pagmuni-muni:
Ngayong araw, paano mo magagamit ang bawat pagkakataong binibigay ng Diyos upang kumilos para sa Kanyang kaluwalhatian? Ipanalangin mong bigyan ka ng gabay ng Diyos sa lahat ng iyong ginagawa at desisyong gagawin.
