Conducting Your Life Wisely

To the faithful followers of Jesus,

In 1 Co 10:31 it states, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." We are called to be the reflection of Jesus Christ to the world. When people see us, they should see Christ and the excellence of the Father. This is a time for us to "polish the mirror", to remove the smudges of our own selfishness and let the glory of the Lord shine through us.

In my own life, I am choosing to make the necessary changes to better reflect the excellency of the glory of God. Are there areas within your life that the Lord is saying, "I show you a more excellent way"? Are you willing to make a change?

In Psalms 50:23, the Lords promises that he that orders his conversation, behavior or manner of living aright, to him, will I show my salvation. In a practical way, ordering your behavior is called, etiquette. Webster's defines etiquette as, "the conduct or procedure required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be observed in social or official life". Etiquette comes from a French word which means, "ticket" and carries the sense of a note attached to something indicating its contents. In Proverbs 20:11 it states, "Even a child makes himself known by his actions, whether his deeds are pure or right."

How well do you know the principles of proper etiquette? Here are a couple of online links to quizes in order to test your knowledge.
