WHATEVER !!!

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.--1 Corinthians 10:31

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.--Colossians 3:17

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.--Colossians 3:23-24

Father, 

That is what I want!  I want that kind of heart and that kind of mindset!  Whatever comes my way...whatever situation befalls me...let me see it through your eyes...through the lens of the eternal!  WHATEVER IT MAY BE!!---Let my first thought be of You.  Let me relate all that touches my life to You....considering your precepts in light of my own words and actions.  I want my heart to care about the things that You care about.  I don't want my life to consist in the abundance of what I possess...may I instead lay up treasure in Heaven.   Allow me Father, to do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit but help me to esteem others better than myself.  May my habitual aim in all that I do and say be to your glory always.
