Ordinary?

Do you struggle with this? The ordinary parts of life. The getting up, going to work, doing what we do parts of life? I go in an out of these spurts where I am completely fired up for God, and other days I sit here and try to just pass the day away, as though there's not a living breathing God watching over me. It could be though, I'm just tired and need some diet pepsi!

What I think gets dangerous about thinking things are ordinary is we can get complacent. Take for granted the fact, we have a job to go to, we have all our limbs working, I had choices when I wanted to eat breakfast today. Truth is, I'm blessed beyond all comprehension each day I wake up and do the "ordinary".

The God I serve is never ever just ordinary! Rejoice and thank God today for his blessings!

I struggle not with ordinary days but my perception of my own ordinariness. It's a huge thing for me to just be content and still.

Matt, that's right on. I think sometimes I am trying to serve God and do so many things, that sometimes God must be like can you slow down a minute and just be still in Me?
