The apostle Paul makes it clear that in every action we perform our intention should be to glorify God: "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor. 10:31, NKJV). When we observe this rule, every action of nature becomes religious, and a meal is as much an act of worship as is an act of prayer—and shall have its reward in its proportion. By God's grace, these works of nature are capable of becoming acts of virtue, so that throughout our lives we may serve the Lord.
