In about six weeks I am to have a week of meetings in Mexico, presenting my marriage seminar. I have mixed feelings about the matter, with “I don’t want to do this” being the strongest.

Such thoughts were flitting in and out of my consciousness as I got going this morning. Then I got to 1 Peter 4:11 in my reading:

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

Then I checked my Spanish Bible to see if it might clarify the first part.

“If anyone speak, speak according to the words of God…” (my translation, of course).

No question — the message of this verse fits my present need.

For Him to be glorified, He must be the source of my words and my service. All the time. Everywhere.
