I do not always pray, nor do I always meditate on the law of the Lord and struggle continually with sin, death and the devil; but I put on my clothes, I sleep, I play with the children, eat, drink, etc. If all these things are done in faith, they are approved by God's judgment as having been done rightly.
Martin Luther, Commentary on Genesis, AE, Volume 6, 180.

Very encouraging quote. It sounds as though he's stating the positive side of Romans 14.23, "Whatever is not of faith is sin." So, do everything in faith!
Yes and the value of everyday vocations. Thanks for the comment.
