Glorifying God through studying

We were created to reflect God's glory. We were created by God so that He could have a people who worshipped him. I am one of those people who has chosen to live a life of worship. In choosing to life my life for God, I have chosen to let go of my control on my life and give Him full control. It's amazing - such vulnerability, yet such security. Vulnerability because you have to let go of your life, every little bit of it, and yet security because God won't take you to the wrong place, or make you do the wrong thing. Once you give Him full control, and everyday do so, He doesn't shrug off responsibility, no, He takes full control and in tune with Him, things will not go wrong. So anyway... the things I do in life are study, spend time with my local church, socialise, go out, practise, and that just about sums it up! Of all these, my studies take up most of my time (which is a good thing, I love Law!), and since my life is to reflect God's glory in all I do, I want to glorify God in my studies. That means putting my utmost into my studies, doing my best. To achieve less than my full potential is not glorifying to God, since He has given me this potential. (Man I'm starting to feel convicted even as I write this, and I thought I was doing ok!) So I have to think big, think outside of the box, because as Keri Jones once said, 'The only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary'. I want to be successful, I want to be successful so as to glorify God.
Right. I'm going to go and work now. :-)
