Value in the Mundane

As moms, sometimes we don't value ourselves or our tasks as we should because we see what we do as small and ordinary. We move from thing to thing, such as laundry and dishes and forget the impact those things have on our families.. clean clothes to wear and food to eat. So this week, I challenge you to take those things that you see as mundane and make them your worship. Pray over the child you are folding clothes for, ask Him to bless them in everything they do, when they are with you, and especially, when they are not. Pray over the food you make that will fill bellies so that they will never know hunger. Those things aren't simple, nor are they small. So, today, mama, remember that for most of His life, Jesus lived in the ordinary too... and what a difference He made to our world. Good job, press on, pray.

1. God Is Present in the Ordinary

God often reveals Himself not in grand gestures, but in quiet, everyday moments.

• 1 Kings 19:11–12 – Elijah expects God in the wind, earthquake, and fire, but God comes in a “still small voice.”

  “And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”

This reminds us that God’s presence is often found in subtle, ordinary experiences.

2. Work and Daily Tasks Can Be Worship

Even routine labor can be done for God’s glory.

• Colossians 3:23–24

  “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”

This verse elevates all work—whether teaching, cleaning, or caregiving—as spiritually meaningful when done with the right heart.

3. Jesus Lived a Mundane Life

Before His public ministry, Jesus spent most of His life in obscurity—working as a carpenter, living in a small town.

• This affirms that God values the hidden years, the quiet faithfulness, and the ordinary rhythms of life.

4. Gratitude in the Everyday

Giving thanks for daily blessings is a way to recognize their value.

• 1 Thessalonians 5:18

  “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Even the mundane becomes sacred when received with gratitude.
