In everything we do always consider God

For in the things that He does for us
And even in the things that we do for Him
He is the only one to make us able to do it :D
Always wait for God's acknowledgement
For even the things that are good that we want to do for Him
He might say "no" to those because it is not part of His plan for you
The grace of God for man is too often turned into the idea that it is man who does heroic things for God.
YET THE MAIN THEME OF GRACE IS WHAT HE DOES FOR US!
Take for Example David, David received favor from God. Name it, from battle wins and blessings, David received a lot from God.
BUT despite that David never forgot to consult with God first, even in the things he wants to do for Him
2 Samuel 8: 14 says
"The Lord gave victory to David wherever he went"
We discover that the history of David is not about what David did for God, but about what God did for David!
Want to do great things for God?
Then wait for His acknowledgement! It is such a great feeling when we do things for Him. But if we do it without His consent, even in the things we want to do for Him, that good thing you want to do will fail :)
Read and take heart the verses:
You are my Lord, I have no good apart from you - Psalm 16: 2
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above - James 1: 17
A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven - John 3: 27
You have indeed done for us all our works - Isaiah 26: 12
Knowing God more is one of the most essential steps you can take.
For the best way to remember God's calling in all our decisions is to know God more :))
To set aside time to simply be with God and not "do" anything for Him, we become better equipped to serve HIM.
It is not what we can do for God, but more on what God can do for us
That's all Dudes and Dudettes! :D
God bless you!
