My friend Iris asked me the other day what my verse was for 2011. I quickly shot off a reply saying “I don’t have one.” What I really wanted to say is my verse is “Hanging on for survival.” Unfortunately I could not find that passage, ha! Well it is funny how the Lord works, because all day that day the Lord kept bringing me back to this passage, especially the areas I bolded. .
[23] “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. [24] Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. …….
[31] So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. [32] Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, [33] just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.
(1 Corinthians 10:23-33 ESV)
Paul wants the Corinthians to act toward others in a way that will not inhibit the advancement of the gospel. Every aspect of a Christian’s life has the potential to honor God.
I want all that I do, all that I face, whatever challenges come my way, when ever God changes direction, when things don’t go my way, when I am hurt, upset, joyful, excited, happy… I want it all to honor God.
PS – I write this as a post for the pure fact that I may have to come back to it time and time again to remind myself. 
How about you? Do you have a verse/goal/something God is speaking to you in 2011?
