Gladness and Glory of God

"My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me" (Proverbs 27:11). "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31).

I hear my heavenly Father say,
My son, be wise, and make Me glad.
O may these words attend my way
To guide me lest I make Him sad!

And can it be I have this power,
To gladden or to grieve His heart?
Is this the choice I make each hour
When I heed Him or depart?

Let me live then with this goal;
Let this be my daily story:
To live with all my heart and soul
For His gladness and His glory.
