Do you view your interactions with others as an act of worship to God? The Bible is full of commands of how to treat each other. Here’s just one of many examples,
Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:25-32
In your relationships, do you worship God by choosing to:
- Build up instead of tear down? (Including building up and not tearing down even when you’re not with the person you’re talking about?)
- Pray for people that you’re struggling with instead of complaining about them?
- Forgiving and asking for forgiveness?
- Have compassion for those who don’t know Jesus instead of judgment?
- Resolving differences in your family before the sun goes down?
Let’s worship God by how we chose to respond in our relationships.
