This is the day the Lord has made…
I will rejoice today because the life I lead is all about God, not about me. It’s about His glory, not mine. All creation was made by God and for God. Everything will be done according to His plan and His purpose. Therefore, even my mundane, everyday tasks can be done in some way that will bring God glory. Perhaps it can be thanking God for food each time I eat, or being patient with people who are irritating.
My life is not about my hangups, my fears, or my problems. It’s about reflecting God’s love in everything I do. There is no need to fret or worry. There is no need to think I’m not doing enough. There is no need to think it’s all up to me whether something succeeds or fails. Of course, I must do my part but ultimately the weight of the world and even the weight of my problems are on God’s shoulders, not mine. I find that comforting.
“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,
do all to the glory of God.” ~1 Corinthians 10:31
