We are set up. We long for and are encouraged to experience grand, big, exciting, fascinating lives. Yet most of life is actually quite mundane…
…wake up so I can go to bed again that night.
…wash dishes so I can dirty them again.
…take a shower so I can get dirty again.
…eat, only to find myself hungry again.
Sadly, we discount all of this mundane part of life when in fact, we should treat it worshipfully. Huh? Let scripture speak here…
1 Corinthians 10:31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the
glory of God.
Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
Romans 12:1
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of
God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and
acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks in all circumstances.
So, as you go about those mundane parts of life, you can either be frustrated and disappointed because it isn’t the “exciting” you were hoping for, or you can choose - even in the mundane - to glorify God, rejoice, give thanks, and present your life as a living sacrifice.
