Philippians 3:19-21, “Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.”
Approach
How easily can we fall into day-to-day responsibilities with a self-centered or self-imposed level of determination or success? We often make it all about ourselves, our to-do lists and our accomplishments.
They often are all needed tasks yet we often approach them from a strictly earthly view. Rather than holy. Which does seem an odd way to deal with the daily chores. Yet both approaches can affect our hearts and our attitudes.
ALL things subjected to the Lord. Seems too ordinary.
Yet over and over Jesus met daily needs for those He shared His life with, both when teaching or simply doing: meals with friends, healing, walking, sharing, household needs. Yet His perspective offered a different view, as with Martha and Mary.
Lord, show us how to realize that even the most ordinary tasks can sometimes become a battleground for our souls.
