Reading – 1 Corinthians 10

Highlight – 1 Corinthians 10:31

[31] So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (ESV)

Explain – Every aspect of life is meant to be lived as worship.  This is all encompassing and even involves that which we might view as trivial (ex. eating and drinking–even cleaning toilets).  To live such a life requires a high level of intentionality.  It also requires a much slower pace. 

Apply – I am afraid that I tend to compartmentalize my life unintentionally into that sacred/secular dichotomy.  I know better.  But in the press of tasks I live this way functionally.  I meet with God in the morning and too often leave Him behind as I go about the rest of my day.  I do a lot of “eating and drinking” mindlessly and without giving God glory.  Worship is the reason that I exist.  Tasks without worship are ultimately meaningless.  

Respond – “Father, I confess my failure to worship you in all that I do.  I ask that you would slow me down and make me a conscious worshipper today, moment by moment.  May every detail of this day be lived for your glory.”
