WALKING, TALKING, EATING, DRINKING

I can't say that I have ever been accused of being a 'deep thinking' person. Don't get me wrong...I am not a dumb person. I'm just not what one might call a typically 'deep' person. I am emotional. I am light-hearted (most of the time). I am fun-loving. I can take things very seriously OR not so seriously depending on the 'thing'. I love to search for information and learn new things. I have walls that can keep people (and God, at times) at a distance. However, there are times when I can get myself out of the way enough to allow God to have the 'deep' things sink in...and most of the time that ends with me in tears. Not because my head hurts (I know what some of you were thinking)...because most of the time the 'deep' things come back to the most basic thing. God loves me and is always with me!

This morning while reading from "My Utmost For His Highest", Oswald Chambers focuses on
I Corinthians 10:31, "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
And then he says a couple things that are going to stick with me...
~ Beware of allowing yourself to think that the shallow aspects of life are not ordained by God; they are ordained by Him equally as much as the profound.
~To be shallow is not a sign of being sinful, nor is shallowness an indication that there is no depth to your life at all - the ocean has a shore. Even the shallow things of life, such as eating and drinking, walking and talking, are ordained by God. These are all things our Lord did. He did them as the Son of God, and He said, "A disciple is not above his teacher..." (Matthew10:24)

So, today I challenge you...when you are doing the 'shallow' things in life (walking, talking, eating and drinking)....do it all for the glory of God. See if from the shallow things God reveals the deep things.
Be Salt and Light!
