Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 10:31 are simple but powerful: “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” It’s easy to think glorifying God is reserved for big moments—leading worship, preaching, or serving on a mission trip. But Paul reminds us that even the most ordinary parts of life—eating, drinking, working, parenting, resting—can be acts of worship when done with the right heart.
Imagine someone folding laundry, not just to tidy up, but to serve their family with love. Or someone choosing kindness in a tense meeting, not to win favor, but to reflect Christ’s peace. These small, unseen choices matter. They’re opportunities to show the world what God’s love looks like in real life. When our motives shift from self to Savior, even the mundane becomes meaningful. God isn’t just watching the big moments—He’s present in the everyday, and He delights when we invite Him into it.
Living this way doesn’t mean we have to be perfect, it means we live with purpose. It’s about asking, “How can I honor God in this moment?” That question can change how we speak to our spouse, how we treat a stranger, or how we respond when things don’t go our way. When we live with that kind of intentionality, our lives become a reflection of God’s grace. And that reflection can ripple outward, touching our families, encouraging our church, and inspiring our communities.
Reflection: In what areas of your daily life might God be inviting you to live more intentionally for His glory? How might your choices—big or small—impact how others experience His love through you in your home, church, and community?
