Live to Glorify God

This blog is about Chapter 4 of the book 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life by Joyce Meyer.

We are to consecrate every action of every day by giving it to God. We are to be in a constant state of worship and prayer, a fellowship with God. When we try to rush through things in life that seem mundane or less spiritual to get to the things that we see as pleasing to God, we are missing the point. God made us to live, eat, drink, work, sleep, and fellowship with other people. So when we do these things, we need to do them by giving glory to God.

One thing Meyer said that really stuck out to me was that "if any part of my life is not suitable for the Lord, then it is not suitable for me either and should be cut out." There are things that I do that are not considered sin, but they are not what God wants, and they are not giving the glory to Him. I want to start cutting those things out of my life and welcoming God into EVERY activity I take part in.

Life is simple if we are doing everything for God, because God doesn't intend for life to be complicated. He intends for us to enjoy life and worship Him.

I already worship God while doing a lot of things: when I walk, I often use that time to pray. When I knit, I often listen to worship music and sing praises to Him. But there are a lot of times that I am not thinking about God and not making him a part of my life, and I really should be doing that.
