“The Extraordinary in the Ordinary”

Daily Devotional:
“The Extraordinary in the Ordinary”
1 Corinthians 10:31
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
The Reflection in a life without compartments.
We often fall into the trap of dividing our lives into two boxes, the sacred and the secular. We think the "sacred" happens on Sunday mornings, during prayer, or while reading the Bible. The "secular" is everything else in between by answering emails, washing dishes, commuting, or eating lunch. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians shatters this divide. By using the most basic, biological necessities of eating and drinking. As examples, he shows us that there is no act too small or too mundane to be an act of worship.
To do something "for the glory of God" means to reflect His character and acknowledge His presence in the middle of the task. It’s the difference between eating in a rush of ungratefulness and eating with a heart of thanks. It’s the difference between working just for a paycheck and working as if your "Boss" is the Creator of the universe.
When we invite God into the "whatever," our perspective shifts. The mundane becomes a mission field. The routine becomes a ritual. You don't have to be behind a pulpit to serve God, you can serve Him behind a steering wheel,a laptop, or a kitchen counter. If God is the source of all things, then every moment is an opportunity to point back to Him. The key takeaway in holiness is not found by escaping the world, but by inviting God into every corner of it. Your "ordinary" life is the primary stage where God’s glory is meant to be displayed.
Pick one routine task you usually do on "autopilot" today. Before you start, say a quick prayer: "Lord, I do this for You." Notice how that simple shift changes your attitude toward the task.
