Day 14: Life for God

Do what we usually do for ourselves, for God's sake.

Wisdom from Brother Lawrence

Our sanctification doesn't depend on changing our actions, but on doing what we usually do for ourselves, for God's sake. It's distressing to see how many people confuse the means with the end, attaching themselves to certain tasks that they carry out very imperfectly because of their self-centered motives.

Scripture

Galatians 5:6

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.

Reflection Questions

  1. 1

    Do I do common things for God's sake and glory?

  2. 2

    How can love and faith shape my life, rather than duty?
