Whatever you do; do to the glory of God – Whatever you do; do to the Glory of God. How do we best fulfill this command? We must realize that however we treat the people around us is how we are treating God; however we are treating them, mistreating them, loving them or not; we can say we love God, but if we do not love our brother, than the truth is not in us.
Let me tell you just in case you have forgotten or just in case you have never been told; we are all in the people business or should be, at home or at work, wherever we might be.
I am not in the funeral business; I am in the people business. I am not in the process business or the program business or in anything other than the People business.
Whoever you are, whatever you do; if you sell shoes, you are not in the shoe business; if you are an attorney, you’re not in law, if you are an entertainer, you are not in show business; you are in the people business.
The moment you become about what you do and not who you do it for you lose your soul, perhaps not literally, but you certainly eliminate any higher purpose of doing whatever it is you do.
There are thousands in the business of stacking dollars in their bank accounts, accumulating possessions which they will ultimately abandon when they leave this life; others waste years to earn a nameplate on a desk or on a door that will only remain as long as they do.
But you; if you want to add any eternal value to what you do; if you desire your life to live beyond your own existence, than you must invest yourself in people. Whatever you do; make certain you are in the people business and it is certain that what you do will also bring glory to God.
