The Everyday Christian
This article is mainly focused on true christianity
I have heard Christians say that there is no joy like the joy found at church during a Sunday service. Some even quote from Psalms 133. “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity” (Ps. 133:1).
I agree that there is a special beauty when we gather together with other believers and are united in worshipping God through song, prayer, communion,and the Word of God.
They say that God does not care about sports so an athletic activity cannot be spiritual. I disagree with statements that sports can’t be spiritual. The word “whatever” of the above verse encompasses sports, shopping and entertainment.
In the Bible, Daniel showed great consistency in his behavior at all times. He served God regardless of circumstances.
If before I shop I ask God to give me discernment and self-control in my shopping, then my shopping can be God honoring. These things are ordinary, but God can be right there as I engage in them.
God has been teaching me to honor and thank Him for the ordinary things in life. I recently lost a piece on my glasses. After finding the support, I found myself thanking God again and again for the simple fact that he helped me find the piece.
We can reflect God’s holiness by not using dirty language and not laughing at dirty jokes at work. These are ordinary, everyday things, and they can be just as spiritual as reading the Bible and praying.
Our mind can be on God during the ordinary, not just during a great church service or during a time of devotion. Those who believe that God is only honored through a church service or a time of prayer are greatly limiting themselves in the presence of God.
Our Creator gave us the mountains and the valleys so that we can worship him as we enjoy them.
If after the Sunday morning service I never have God in my conversations my mind then my eyes are not fixed on Jesus; I am not an everyday Christian.
To live Everyday Christianity you must have your eyes set on Jesus everyday.
