Even 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
I woke up with a raging headache, and it hasn’t gotten any better. I’m pretty sure it is related to atmospheric pressure and weather systems, but it is definitely hindering my ability to see to beauty in this morning. Interestingly, instead of giving in to the misery, this feeling has sent me to God’s feet to ask how I can live a life that honors Him even when I feel like I currently do.
Matt 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
When I decided at the end of last year to get 11,000 steps a day, I began looking more closely at each decision I make. I realized early on that in order to make the goal attainable, I had to build in steps during the day—not mindless, pacing steps, but intentional steps that help me accomplish what needed to get done but also helped me to move more. It occurred to me this morning that I need to approach my desire to honor Christ with my life in a similar manner. If I’m going to do it, I have to be able to perceive it as sustainable, which means, I have to become more mindful in each moment about how I can do the many daily things that must be done in a way that honors Him at the same time. The concept is simple, but the results could be revolutionary.
Matt 7:8 “For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
Lord, Thank You for this day and this perspective. Thank You that instead of just being grumpy with my headache, I came to You seeking advice. Thank You for the wisdom and insight of my time with You this morning. Help me, moment by moment, to be intentional about honoring You with my attitude, my choices, my life. Draw me closer. Amen.
Ecc 3:22 He has made everything beautiful in its time….
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
