Glorifying God in every aspect of life

You may be surprised to know that throughout his or her lifetime, the average American:

Spends 3 years in business meetings

Spends 13 years watching TV

Consumes 109,354 pounds of food

Makes 1,811 trips to McDonalds

Spends $6,881 in vending machines

Eats 35,138 cookies and 1,483 pounds of candy

Catches 304 colds

Spends 24 years sleeping

It's amazing to see those kinds of numbers isn't it? But what many Christians don't realize is that even in the seemingly "mundane" aspects of life like eating or sleeping, God can be honored. In fact, as you see in today's verse, you can glorify God in whatever you do!

It's easy to slip into the mind-set of "sacred" versus "secular" and think, I can really only glorify God when I'm reading my Bible or singing to Him. But in reality, God doesn't just want an hour on Sunday, He wants all of you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

So whatever your daily routine has you doing, glorify God. If you're having lunch, use it as a time to thank God for the blessings of food. If you're meeting with friends, show them the love of Christ in how you talk and act. When you do that, you'll start to understand what it really means to glorify God with your life!
