The sonnet, titled “To the Glory of God,” inspired by 1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV), emphasizes living every action—whether mundane or significant—to honor God. It portrays life’s moments, from work and prayer to joy and trials, as opportunities to reflect divine love and grace. No deed is too small when done with sincere faith, and through a life of devotion, God’s glory shines eternally.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

(1 Corinthians 10:31, KJV)

In every task, from humble to the great,
Let all be done to magnify His name.
Each fleeting breath, each step in mortal state,
Shall bear the glow of heaven’s sacred flame.

The dawn’s first work, the twilight’s whispered prayer,
The joys we share, the trials we abide—
All threads of life, when woven with true care,
Reflect His grace, His love that will not hide.

No deed too small, no moment cast away,
When offered up with spirit pure and free.
In toil or rest, in grief or glad array,
His glory shines through faith’s eternity.

So let us live, in word and deed abroad,
To honor still the everlasting God.
