Mundane Life

You know what's crazy?  How easy it is to get excited about something and then have it die in the midst of mundane life.  Life is an interesting thing and something that can very easily slip by.  I remember just yesterday I was the new guy at my job, a recently married man, not knowing what to expect, excited.  Then I woke up and I've been married for 9 months and I'm no longer the new guy.  Weird how that happens, right?  No, actually, not really.  I think life can just keep on going without us.  We're trying to get through the day and that's it.  Life may seem slow, but the days go by quick and with no meaning.  We seem trapped in this never ending circle.  So what happens?  What changes so we all don't wake up and realize we're 50 years old?  Stillness.

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."  Psalm 46:10. 

We need this each day, to make each day it's own day.  To recognize God above all and over all and to realize we have a purpose.  Each spot we are at in life has a purpose.  God doesn't allow us to be somewhere without purpose, so why then do I allow myself to live purposeless?  I don't know, but if God were really impacting my life on a daily basis I wouldn't be, so what needs to change?  My stillness.  Without stillness before God there is no change, there is no purpose because no matter how much I deep down want Christ, my actions haven't put that into practice and I've missed out on my oppurtunity to live that day for Him.  I must get before Him in stillness so His purpose can work itself out in my life, today.
