So many people love checklists, and it’s easy to see why. It’s such a tangible way to show what someone did with their day. If we’ve checked a box off our to-do list, we’ve completed, not just some random errand, but a task that needed to be done. It was our responsibility, and we completed it. Have you ever felt that sort of satisfaction? It feels good, doesn’t it? And yet, God has so much more in store for you.

God doesn’t just give you a list of tasks to complete to fulfill some sort of obligation or to earn your way into His good graces. Instead, we get to live our lives finding opportunities to show others just what a life with Jesus could look like for them. Those daily errands we accomplish are nothing compared to living each day for others, to show them the beauty of a community of believers helping and supporting one another.

This week, take a look at what you want to accomplish or the tasks you’ve set out for yourself. What is one thing you can do to make God the focus of each? And even more, what things can you add that help show what the “good life” in Jesus can look like for them?
