Colossians 3:17–"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
There is a principle that is always in play for the believer, and that principle is submission. It is, in many ways, the very cornerstone of all Christian theology. Think of the very call to believe unto salvation. This is a call to submit our faith unto Christ. Or the exhortation to devote ourselves to loving God with every bit of who we are; again, this is a call to submission. But the submission does not end with theological assertions; it is a real, a practical submission. In a real way, Christians are called to give everything, do everything, say everything, all for the glory of God. There is no compartment of our lives that is to lie outside of that purview of submitting all we are and do to His name. But what's more profound is that this submission is not done begrudgingly or with grumbling, but it is to be done thankfully and with great adoration. This is our call and this is our task.
Let us pray to become better at giving everything to Him and doing it all with excellence for the glory of God!
