START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
WHATEVER YOU DO WHETHER IN WORD OR DEED / COLOSSIANS 3:17
The Bible presents general principles that help Holy Spirit-led believers determine the rightness or wrongness of activities and behaviors not specifically mentioned in God’s Word. In everything that we say, do, think or enjoy, we should be guided by asking ourselves the following questions:
- Can it be done for God’s glory and honor (1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Corinthians 10:23 – 11:1)?
- Can it be done “in the name of the Lord Jesus” (with a complete awareness of who He is, all He stands for and that you are to represent Him), and could you ask His blessing and approval on the activity (John 14:13)?
- Can it be done while truly giving thanks to God?
- Is it a Christlike action? Would Jesus do it (1 John 2:6)?
- Could it cause another Christian to compromise his or her conscience and convictions and, at some point, weaken his or her devotion to Christ (1 Corinthians 8:1)?
- Will it strengthen or weaken my desire for spiritual things, God’s Word and prayer (Luke 8:14; Matthew 5:6)?
- Could it weaken or hinder my influence for Christ on others who do not know Him or who may look to me as an example of Christlike behavior (Matthew 5:13; Matthew 5:14-16)?
