So it's been awhile...imagine that. Life happens and just keeps happenin and for that I am thankful. I'm also thankful for life's lessons. The sanctifying work of God in my life is hard but good. A good hard. Life's Lessons 101 lately has been about being faithful in the little things. Being faithful to what God has given me TODAY. Not tomorrow. Today. Tomorrow will worry about itself (Matthew 6:34). What is the chief end of man? To glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Today. I can't think about how I will glorify God tomorrow when we are still in today. And today I have two children, 2 and 15 months, to care for and a house to keep and meals to prepare. That is how I will glorify God today. I will refill sippy cups. I will change poopy diapers. I will slather peanut butter on the cheap whole wheat bread and cut off the crust and dice it up for Zoe and cut it in half for Kai. I will peel a pear and slice it for a healthy side. I will switch the laundry and teach Kai how to use the electric sweeper. I will love on my children and laugh when they laugh and cry when they cry. I will teach them about Jesus. I will take pictures of them and videos too. I will read my bible in between moments of "Kai, be gentle with Zoe." and "Zoe, no fussing." I will play music to which we may or may not dance to with joy to the Lord all over the living room or office. I will do a number of other seemingly meaningless tasks today that I will repeat and do all over again tomorrow but it will be to the glory of God.
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
So, here's to glorifying God one day at a time. One task at a time. Being faithful in the little things. One step at a time.
Matthew 25:14-30
vs 23 His Master said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your Master."
What is the end to our faithfulness? The JOY of our Master!!
"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of JOY; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11
Let us go and glorify God and enjoy Him forever!!
