Make Every Action a Gesture of His Glory

Youre rushing out the door when you realize the dishes from last nights dinner are still piled in the sink—your least favorite chore. Normally youd grit your teeth and hurry through. Today, though, you pause. “Jesus,” you pray under your breath, “I offer this to you.” The soap suds feel cooler on your hands as you begin the task.

That day, each plate becomes a small altar. As you scrub, you silently thank the Lord for nourishing your family. The clink of dishes against the rack becomes your simple song of worship. Suddenly you notice the steam rising from the sink, catching the morning light like a tiny cathedral window.

Later, on the train, instead of scrolling through social media you continue the practice: mentally offering each printed page to God, silently blessing the commuters around you. The world doesnt change, but your heart does—you find fulfillment in what used to feel like drudgery.

By turning mundane routines into acts of worship, you transform your entire day. You begin to see that no task is too small to honor him, and that his glory isn’t just in skyscrapers and sanctuaries, but in the hands that wash, type, and walk.

Choose your next routine activity—washing dishes, filing a report, or even showering—and pause to dedicate it to Jesus before you begin. As you proceed, silently repeat a prayer or scripture that reminds you his presence is with every motion. Feel your heart settle as you remember that even simple tasks can reflect his glory. Keep this practice going through your day and watch how routine turns into reverent service.
