From: Today God Is First
- Os Hillman
1 Corinthians 10:31 "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all
for the glory of God."
Our Lord never saw the mundane activities as ordinary. Whether He healed the sick or sat around the fire with the disciples, He did not see one activity as spiritual and the other non-spiritual. Life was lived as a holy service to His Heavenly Father.
Many times we fall prey to a spiritual hierarchy mentality. We believe certain activity is more blessed by God because it is done under a spiritual guise. We conduct our Christian meetings and conclude one is blessed by God based on attendance. We work to give money to ministry when we fail to recognize the very work we do is ministry.
God's glory can be expressed in the most common task. Whether washing the dishes, or changing diapers or driving to the grocery store...it doesn't matter. "Whatever you do, do from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others..." (Colossians 3:23)
