Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God —1 Corinthians 10:31
We like to consider ourselves “deep” or “profound.” But much of life is lived on the “shallow” or “mundane” level, the simple things. Much of the deep life is not visible and the shallow is very much seen by others. We are often in danger of assuming another is shallow because that’s all we see. Even worse, we may fail to notice that the shallow aspects of life are not ordained by God. Beware of posing as a profound person— God became a baby.
To be shallow is not a sign of being sinful, nor is shallowness an indication that there is no depth to your life at all— the ocean has a shore. Even the shallow things of life, such as eating and drinking, walking and talking, are ordained by God. These are all things our Lord did. He did them as the Son of God, and He said, “A disciple is not above his teacher . . .” (Matthew 10:24).
