When Ordinary Things become Worship!

When Ordinary Things become Worship!

We all have routines! Waking up, preparing the kids for school, school run, work, house chores, cooking, running errands for our boss,reading, watching tv,gardening e.t.c. We all have activities that consume our days. Some activities are routine, some are occasional and are all ordinary.

These ordinary everyday activities pile up into weeks, months and years of ordinary activities which eventually makes up an ordinary lifetime.

These ordinary activities are what our lives are made off as ordinary as they are. These ordinary activities are what we are going to held accountable for in the presence of God!

God says we should put Him first in all things. " So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything to the glory of God." 1 Col: 10:31. 

These ordinary activities make up the "everything" God is asking us to Glorify Him with.

Imagine putting God first while doing ordinary house chores, while working in the office, in your everyday relations? It changes these ordinary activities to Worship! 

We worship God when we put Him first. I hear people say I would have beaten or dealt with him/ her if not for God. I would have spent the money if not for God!. I gave her the last money in my pocket to feed just because of God! That is putting God first in these situations.

Let's take this further and worship God with our trials, temptations and everyday activities. We will do all these ordinary activities anyway so how about making these ordinary activities holy, spiritual and supernatural. Let's pray and let God know that He is the reason why we live, why we breathe, why we do.

Jesus was an ordinary carpenter that worshipped God with his ordinary activities. Moses was an ordinary man,Abraham was ordinary, David was an ordinary shepherd boy, Daniel an ordinary young man! 

So Let us worship!
