I am calling you to a complete lifestyle of worship where every aspect of your daily living glorifies me. Will you choose to worship me, not only by your works, but will you also worship me with your entire life demonstrating the fullness of your heart’s dedication and devotion to me? A life that is pleasing to me extends beyond the practice of going to worship services on traditionally designated days and serving in the physical house of worship. I want you to honour me with every detail of your living. I want the small as well as the big parts of your life.
Will you take your ordinary life and present it to me by laying it on my altar as a sacrifice? This is what I consider true worship. I want the mundane, I want the simple, I want the minute, and I want the seemingly unimportant.
Your everyday walking around life should reflect me even in the most mundane of things. Give it to me, worship me with it, and see how my light will radiate through you. Everything in your life is important to me because YOU are important to me, and I want you to give me all of you!
Activation: It’s easy for us to live on autopilot without thinking to engage God in the most mundane of tasks. So, for the next 7 days, get into the practice of engaging the Lord in every aspect of your life. Whether it’s taking the kids to school, picking up groceries, making the shopping and to-do lists, or arranging your daily diary, before each duty say… “Lord, I take my everyday ordinary life and place it before you as an offering. How would YOU have me complete this task?” Write down what he says and be sure to follow his instructions.
Romans 12:1 (MSG)
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering.
Colossians 3:23 (NKJV)
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men . . .
