So whether you
       eat or drink,
or whatever you do,
do all
to the glory of God.

   1 Corinthians 10. 31

(There is no
    sacred and secular divide.
There is nothing
   that cannot bring Him glory.
Nothing too ordinary,
nothing insignificant,
nothing too small or great.
Even in this daily task,
every relationship,
what we do
    and how we do it,
even our attitudes,
maybe especially our attitudes.
We do it to His glory.
But He brings His glory to it.
Even in unlikely places,
the unexpected,
and what we don't see
          or recognize.
His glory is not limited
         to our lifetimes.
God is bigger than that.
There are no
        little daily choices,
but only those that
        change our lives
     and those around us,
in whatever we do.
"Do all" translates
          exactly that.
What does that look like
       in today's encounters?)

O LORD,
Bring Your glory to this day.
Make me not just aware
     of You,
but transformed by You.
Anoint this day, O LORD.
Appoint me in it.
Assign my every action.
Re-align my heart.
Help me to stop and realize
     that Your glory
     is all inclusive.
There is nothing beyond
            Your witness
             in this world.
May Your glory
    get all over
    what I do today
in permanent marker,
soaked in,
indelible,
undeniable,
life-changing.
This is no ordinary day.
You don't make them
             that way.
