Making “Common” Things Holy Often we feel divided within ourselves, struggling to get finished with common life and everyday business so we can return to holy things because we feel that we are holier, or more right with God, when we are doing what we believe to be holy things. We must have understanding how, in reality, theres no difference between what’s common and holy, except in our minds. Everything we do is to be offered to the Lord; and if done so with a pure heart of love, it becomes holy. You can do common tasks, like go to the grocery store, and itll be just as holy as prayer, as long as you do it all to the glory and honor of God. Romans 14 is an excellent chapter in the Bible to bring liberty in this area. My personal translation of verses 5-6 is that one man sees prayer and Bible study as holier than ordinary tasks, while a person whos really free in the Lord sees them all alike (all holy), because whatever he does, he does in honor of the Lord. Instead of only giving part of your life to God, make a choice today to make everything you do holy by offering it to Him. Prayer Starter: God, I want my entire life to be holy, not just one section of it. I offer all of my everyday activities to You. I live my life to honor You.
