Mundane

Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
 
Life has some bad days. Life also has some good days. But most of life seems to be just regular days. Some of us veer off course during good times. Some of us veer off course during bad times. But some of us can lose focus during mundane times. Mundane is defined as: lacking interest or excitement. Do you ever have days that lack interest or excitement? Do you ever feel like your life in general is lacking interest or excitement? I know I’ve had seasons where I felt that. Sometimes I do things that feel pointless, boring, or a waste of time. In those times, we need to shift our perspective. As new creations, children of God, recipients of eternal life, a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit of God Almighty, everything we do has a purpose.
 
It’s easy to cut corners, it’s easy to do things without full effort. It’s easy to let the small, mundane things go by without appreciating them. However, God tells us in scripture to do everything as if we were working for Him and not for man. God has given us life today, God has given us a purpose today, God has blessed us with the ability to do His will today. Let’s not cut corners, let’s embrace the good, the bad, and the mundane. Don’t let the monotony of success suck the life out of you. Embrace it. Those who master the little things are ready to master the big things. After all, our Master is not of this world, He is in heaven. 
 
Colossians 3:23-24
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
