At this hour, I dread of the thoughts of the many things I need to do. They are just too many. And I keep falling short of the schedules. I just cannot do as fast as I wish.
Then today I come across the term Godless morality. It sounds to be inconsistent with the meaning. But apparently it is possible to do good without God. That is when we want to do good things by our own strengths and for our own benefits.
That sounds like me. I wanted to do all those things in my to-do-list with my own strengths and my own way. And why do I want to do all of them? It is not for God but for my own pride and satisfaction of doing all those things.
So what shall I do now? Remember that my purpose of life is to trust Jesus and love people so that God is glorified. And remember that God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him.
Therefore, let me do the things in God’s grace, and not my own strength. If it is the time to sleep, then sleep. If we need to fall of short of the standard, then bear the consequences. Say no, say sorry, admit our mistakes.
Let’s also do things for God. Ask how God can be glorified by this. Remember why we want to do good in our work, in our home. Isn’t it for God’s glory? If it is really is and God says it is okay for us to glorify in other ways, shouldn’t we be joyful even when our works are not as good as we wished?
Remember, whatever we do, do it for the glory of God. And remember, it is all by God’s grace alone.
