What if we were able to view routine chores not merely as secular responsibilities but instead as spiritual undertakings? What if we truly lived out the Scripture “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31)? How would our perception change if we decided to even scrub the toilet with an attitude set on glorifying the Most High?

We declare and meditate on God’s word so that we can obey the Scriptures. We strive to follow the Scriptures to display our love for Jesus. Loving Jesus is our primary aim in life and is the greatest commandment God calls us to follow. This is why verbally confessing and meditating on the word is so important? These two disciplines help us fulfill our ultimate destiny of loving God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

God is not interested in the size or scale of what someone achieves.  Instead, He looks at the faithfulness by which the individual accomplishes their God-given purpose.  Shoveling a walkway and preaching in a stadium have the same value to God as long as it is in obedience to each of our specific callings.  

Maybe you are among those who claim they are willing to die for Christ. That is amazing! I have met many who champion their devotion to Christ by expressing their willingness to die for Him. The real question is … are they willing to live for Him?

The primary assignment given to every believer is to glorify Jesus by loving Him will all our being. Only out of this relationship will we bear any fruit in our own lives or in the lives of others. Keep in mind that loving God and experiencing His love is not to be thought of solely as a way to impact the world but actually as an end in itself.

Many Christians believe that it is wrong to be motivated by our eternal prize. They assume their only motivation should be to obey God in fulfilling their earthly duty with no thought of their future reward. This notion seems right and humble at face value, the only problem is … it is not what the Bible teaches.
