Called to...the mundane

common; ordinary; banal; unimaginative

This would be the definition of "mundane" according to dictionary.com. Now, the question before us is a simple one - but has two parts:

1. Is Jesus Lord over our mundane? Because, quite honestly, if He does not rule in our mundane we certainly will have a difficult time relinquishing control in ALL OTHER AREAS.
2. Dream with me...God calls us to a mundane task for 40 years - are we in a spot where this makes sense and can still walk in the worship of God despite the dreadfully common task He daily lays before us?

Reading through Numbers 4:47-49 the mundane carries unbelievable weight. "...all the men between 30 and 50 years of age eligible for service in the Tabernacle and for its transportation numbered 8,580...each man was assigned his task and told what to carry."

These men literally just carried things from the Tabernacle throughout the desert for years. Pretty mundane. However, if they did not carry out their task God was not properly worshiped. So, I ask again, is Jesus LORD over our mundane and can we walk in worship despite the simple unrecognizable task God lays before us?
