INTRODUCTION

The believer’s every endeavour should be done for the Lord and not simply for men. All should be done to the glory of God even to the extent of what man eats and drinks (1 Corinthians 10:31Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
See All...). Before the believer considers changing appearance for the sake of beauty, he or she should ask whether or not this thing will bring glory to God. Before a believer marks his flesh with a tattoo, he should consider the words of His God (Leviticus 19:28Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
See All...). Before spending a great deal of money on one’s appearance, he should ask if God would rather the money be given elsewhere. Every aspect of man’s life is about pleasing the One who created him with and for a specific purpose (Revelation 4:11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
See All...).

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

• (For children): To be able to please God in everything we do, we must first prepare our hearts as Ezra did “to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it” (Ezra 7:10For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
  See All...). Remembering what Christ did for us helps us to properly focus upon glorifying Him (2 Corinthians 5:15And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
  See All...).
• (For everyone): How can you do everything to the glory of God? How can this even apply to how you deal with your appearance? Do you seek to glorify Him in everything you do?
• Have you been secretly murmuring that these things should not matter to God? Have you forgotten He purchased you with His blood and that you are not your own (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 [19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
  See All...)?

PRAYER NEEDS

• Ask the Lord to help you do all to His glory.
• Ask God to help you place your all upon the altar.
