Whatever you do in word

Whatever you do in word

"Whatever you do in word or deed—do all in the name of the Lord Jesus!" Colossians 3:17

True religion is not confined to times or seasons; it influences its possessors at all times and under all circumstances. It operates . . .
  in private—and in public;
  in the family—and on the farm;
  in the shop—and in the mart.

The exercises of the prayer-closet and the services of the church are designed as means to an end—that we might live to the honor of God in all the circumstances of our daily life; that whatever we "do in word or deed"—we may "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus;" that is, that we may act in the spirit of Christ, and as befits His followers.

Write this precept, O Lord, upon the tablet of my heart! Help me to live as a true disciple of Christ. May His Spirit influence my words and deeds in all my fellowship with my Christian brethren and with the world.

May I aim to be a humble representative of my Lord and Master. Under a continual sense of deficiency and failure, still may I follow in His footsteps, and aim to be like Him—while I depend alone on His finished work for salvation.

Back to Every Day!
