All Things Sacred
The earth is the LORD’s, and all it contains,
The world, and those who dwell in it.
PSALM 24.1
There is no area of your life that is segregated from your union to God. Because you are in Him, everything is spiritual. The Lord owns everything.
One of the greatest deceptions that has ever slipped into our minds is the idea that there is a difference between secular and sacred. There is no such dualism. Everything is sacred because of Christ’s pervasive presence and He lives in you. The word sacred comes from the Latin word sacer, which denotes something uncommon because of its intimate association with the Divine.
You are one with God through Jesus Christ. Everything in your life is intimately associated with Him through your union with Him, thus making it sacred.
One man told me, “I like to keep my business life and my spiritual life separate from each other.” What a sad thing. Do we leave Christ at home when we go to work? Does He go to our business appointments with us, but do we then politely instruct Him to sit quietly in the background? Our union with Christ defines the sum total of our lives.
