Taking each task that is handed you with joy, and doing it for the glory of God, enables you become a storehouse of joy and blessing. We must do the mundane, the little, everyday things, as a mission to bring God glory. Dont think that if you would move to a remote village in Africa, or to some other remote or "exciting" place in the world that you would be fullfilling a better place in Gods kingdom.
Where God has you, right now, is where He is asking for faithfulness for the thing in front of you. He wants to teach us that the little things add up to big things, and that when you are no longer focused on what is "big" or " little", but simply act in intentional obedience, He can do amazing things through His children.
Do those dishes with joy. Do the laundry as an act of service with love. Do you know that the "missionary" you so admire is doing laundry and dishes too, but likely has no hot water, and no automatic washer? If it rains, she likely doesn't have a dryer, either.
There are some things we cannot choose.
Like our circumstances.
But we can choose our response to those circumstances.
When you think of daily chores as Holy work, it changes everything.
When you choose joy and celebration in what other people have, or their successes, it changes everything.
And it brings ABUNDANT JOY.
It brings a feeling of respect for yourself and other people, and it takes away jealousy and negetivity.
I challenge you to try it, it will change your life.
