Perspective:

My life is made up of a succession of days that constitute my opportunity to glorify God.  It will do no good to begrudge the character or nature of these days; rather, I need/want to revel in the unique opportunity those days afford to me in order that I can deliberately and intensely glorify and enjoy God.  This is the moment in all of history which God has entrusted to my stewardship.  Now what will I do with it?

All of life - a kingdom story.

But for Paul, all of life had become a kingdom story of living out the radical implications of the gospel of grace. Scotty Smith - The Gospel Coalition
