I Corinthians 10:31
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Day 16
Pray that your husband will choose healthy, God-honoring activities. Pray that he will not live in bondage to any questionable habits or hobbies, but that he will experience freedom in holiness as he yields to the Spirit’s control. (1 Cor. 6:12, 10:31; 2 Tim. 2:4)
Again, I feel like this prayer should be more for ME than for my husband. For example, Dan recently set out to lose a little weight (not that he NEEDED to, but he kind-of-needed-to)...and after 1 week, he has already lost almost 10 lbs. Then because he "enjoys" exercise, he went to play basketball tonight. He has way more self-control than I do when it comes to eating, spending money, and basically just about EVERYTHING.
Also, I was re-looking at the website for Shady Gables, the tea shoppe we visited recently (hence the tea themed picture above). The "theme verse" on her web page is also I Corinthians 10:31. I think so much of her shoppe represents what I'd like to be more of: feminine, delicate, pretty, simply elegant, mannerly, appropriate, calm, well-ordered, charming, and warm. Being in such an environment just automatically makes one want to ACT more like a proper lady. And even though I will never be the picture of a dainty female, I think I can definitely work on having much more propriety in my life and behavior.
What a wonderful verse to dwell on today though: no matter what you are doing, do it for God's glory! I think that alone would change the way we act or react in any environment.

This is a great post - you are so right! If we would just do everything for the glory of God, I wonder how it would change our lives...
