Everyday is an act of worship

I am just amazed on how God is speaking to me right now. Sometimes, I think that winning a soul is more important than doing my work in the office that I begin to think that I should be a missionary. But God is telling me that no matter what I do, whether it is considered sacred as reading my bible, to as secular as doing my work in the office, only my heart or my motives matter.

One of the favorite verses is found in 1 Corinthians 10:31 where it states that whatever we do, whether we eat or drink, we do it all for the glory of God. Whenever I think that I will resign from my work because I prefer to be on missions to win souls, I begin to encounter this verse. It seems that God is telling me that it doesn’t need for me to resign just to bring glory to Him. It seems that He is telling me that in everyday of my life, even in in simple things like eating, driving to work or even doing a report is already a way to worship him. 

Today, I know that He is speaking to me through the book I am reading. He wanted me to honor Him in everything that I do. He wanted me to live an undivided life, a life that honors Him in every single act I do everyday. I pray that as I continue to be a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a co worker, a manager, I will live with a heart that glorifies him. Because every day of my life is an opportunity for me to worship Him. 

As I end this, I want to write this excerpt from the book, The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer:

Let every man  abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why does it. The motive is everything. Let a man sanctify the Lord God in his heart and he can thereafter do no common act. All he does is good and acceptable to God through Jesus.
