Let’s talk about your day.
You
wake up, probably scroll through your phone for a bit, get out of bed, take a
shower, and throw on some clothes. Breakfast? Maybe. Then you head out—school,
work, errands—your day starts rolling. You cross paths with people: the fruit
vendor on the corner, the guy delivering packages, the bus driver, your
classmates or coworkers. After a long day, you head back home, exhausted, eat,
unwind, and finally crash into bed.
Sounds
pretty ordinary, right? But here’s the thing: your ordinary day is packed
with evidence of God’s love and His grace, all because of what Jesus has done
for you.
The Wonder in the Mundane
We
often think purpose is found in the “big” moments—getting that degree, nailing
that project, or doing something that feels important. But what about the
rhythms of daily life—the small things we take for granted, like brushing our
teeth, walking to class, or grabbing coffee with a friend?
Here’s the truth: Jesus didn’t die just to redeem the “big” moments in your life. He died to redeem all of you—your spirit, soul, and body—and every single one of your days.
We’ve
drawn a false line between what we think as ‘spiritual’ activities and what we
think are non-spiritual activities. This is a line that God didn’t create, by
the way, and this makes us put God in a box and think or talk about Him only
when we think we’re doing something spiritual. We isolate Him and relegate Him
to the background of our daily lives but He’s there too, because all things
were made BY Him and FOR Him and TO Him (Romans 11:36, Colossians 1:16)—including
all our daily experiences and activities in life.
I
feel like this is why we often live out our lives suffering from a sense of
purposelessness. We don’t see any meaning in the things we do on a day to day
basis and wonder what the point of it all, is. But God wants to redeem our
daily life experiences and heal our sense of purposelessness and it starts with
seeing that God’s purpose in all of life is Christ. Remember the earlier
scripture, “…all things were made BY Him and FOR Him and TO Him.”
So
can we flip our daily lives by seeing what God actually says and not assume we
know what He wants, by our limited minds. In Deuteronomy 6:6-7, God paints this
beautiful picture of how He wants to be part of even the smallest moments in
our lives:
These words that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
It’s
like God is saying, “Hey, I’m here—in your every moment. When you wake up. When
you’re walking to class. When you’re hanging out at home. When you’re about to
fall asleep. I’m with you.”
What’s
even more amazing? God promises that living with this awareness of Him turns
your days into “days of heaven on earth” (Deuteronomy 11:21).
Talking
about the Lord Jesus and His grace when we sit
at home and when we walk along the
road, when we lie down and when
we get up. Aren’t these super
natural and mundane things to do? Yet, God says if we live all of our lives in the
consciousness of His grace, those activities are no longer natural activities
but become redeemed by Him and are infused with supernatural depth and purpose.
This is how we enjoy multiplied days and really good days that feel like days
of heaven on earth! How cool is that?!
Jesus Gets It
Think
about Jesus. He spent thirty years of His life in a tiny, 'insignificant' town called
Nazareth. Thirty years! We don’t hear much about his growing up years. We hear
about his birth, about his relocating to Egypt for a couple of years, about
returning to their country and settling in another city. We hear about him and
his family traveling to Jerusalem for an event. But that’s it. He wasn’t performing
miracles or preaching to crowds during that time—He was living a regular, human
life. Working as a carpenter. Spending time with His family. Walking through
the same daily rhythms you and I go through.
Why
does this matter? Because when Jesus lived those 30 “ordinary” years, I believe
he lived it while thinking about how He was experiencing life as we would
experience it today and by His death on the Cross, He redeemed every ordinary
moment of your life. He reclaimed the beauty and purpose and worth of our daily
lives so that we can enjoy living life each day—not only in the grand moments,
but in the little, seemingly insignificant ones. By His death, burial and
resurrection, Jesus restored eternal
meaning to the mundane. He redeemed it so we would live lives that
aren’t wasting away but live every day in the consciousness of God’s smile -
His grace and goodness shining over us.
Now,
because of His finished work on the Cross, our daily lives—yes, even the
boring, repetitive stuff—can be filled with the wonder of God’s grace. We get
to live with a spring in our steps and sparkle in our eyes! We get to live with
a life full of zest, vibrancy, joy, purpose! We get to enjoy days of heaven on
earth! We get to life not in doom and gloom and negative vibes that try to
choke us, but blissfully immersed in the consciousness of God’s love for you.
Grace in Every Moment
Romans
12:1 (MSG) puts it perfectly:
Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.
Catch
that? Embracing what God does for you—not striving, not achieving, but
simply receiving His unearned, unmerited love and grace demonstrated by the
sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross and now expressed in many ways—is the best thing
you can do.
The
greatest expressions of God’s grace is in the spiritual blessings we’ve
received in Christ—forgiveness of all our sins, the gift of righteousness
(right standing with God), unconditional acceptance into God’s family, new life
and victory over sin and death and all the beautiful blessings of redemption
that we now have in Christ.
Because
of these spiritual blessings we now have in Christ, we can now experience God’s
grace in every part of our daily life—in the kindness of the bus driver who
waited an extra second for you to hop on, in the smile of the vendor who asked
how your day was, in the strength you feel after a good night’s sleep, or the
laughter you share with a friend.
Even
the things you rarely think about—like the firmness of the ground beneath your
feet—remind you of Christ as your solid foundation. The breeze that brushes
your face? A whisper of God’s quiet presence, working within you even when life
feels chaotic.
Seeing Life Through His Love
Isaiah
30:18 says, “The Lord longs to be gracious to you…to show you compassion.”
That’s God’s heart for you—He loves to bless you, to shower you with kindness,
to overwhelm you with grace. Every. Single. Day. When you live with this
awareness, everything changes. You start seeing God’s love in every little
detail of your day:
- The hug from your sibling that
warms your heart.
- The quiet moment when you
realize you’re stronger than you were yesterday.
- The way the sun feels on your
face or the sound of rain tapping on your window.
These
aren’t just random events; they’re expressions of God’s goodness, reminding you
that He’s with you in every moment.
Your Best Life Is Already Here
How
would you describe your best life? Have 10 million followers on TikTok and
traveling the world and living chic as an influencer? Cute. But what If I told
you that God’s best life for you isn’t about chasing some grand achievement or
waiting for the “next big thing.” It’s about living in the now and how does he
describe it? Loving life, seeing good days and enjoying days of heaven on earth—fully
aware of His amazing grace overflowing in and around you, fully conscious of
His love! How cool is that?!
2
Corinthians 9:8 (TPT) says:
Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way.
That’s
the kind of life Jesus has redeemed for you: a life where every moment, no
matter how small, overflows with purpose, joy, and the beauty of His love. Even
right now, God is powering all grace towards you in excess! Way more than you
need—for every time and for everything.
Pause and See
So,
here’s a thought: next time you’re brushing your teeth, walking to work, or
even just breathing in and out—pause. Take a second to remember that God’s
grace is at work in you and around you. You’re not just living; you’re living
redeemed.
This
is what it means to have “days of heaven on earth.” It’s not about escaping
your routine but seeing God’s hand in every part of it. It’s about seeing that
you’re deeply loved, fully redeemed, and wonderfully held by a loving Father who
fills even the smallest moments of your day with His endless grace.
Check these out, I think you'll enjoy them!
