We were given this reminder- it's called the Sabbath- some people call it Sunday- some people call it other things- but it's a reminder that we don't hold the universe together- God does. But you would never know it with all our running around trying to get to the bottom of our to-do list.
One of the biggest things I was looking foreward in coming back to school was living in the same place for more than three weeks (since it literally hasn't happened since December). I was looking foreward to unpacking, having a schedule, getting things done, and having a routine.
"Good routines become bad routines if we don't change
the routine. One of the greatest dangers we face spiritually is learning how and forgetting why."
I guarentee when you change your routine you will see something different. You might remember why instead of just going about your day because well...its the same thing you have always done. I bet when you start remembering why you do things- your day becomes a lot more intentional- and you see things you never saw before. And I bet you realize you can schedule whatever you want, and make lists, but I bet you realize how much is actually going on around you that you have no control over. And I bet you realize your overwhelming need for your creator.
"Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the
reach of His grace. And you best days are never so good that you are
beyond the need of God's grace. Every day should be a day of relating to
God on the basis of His grace alone." -Jerry Bridges
