Energy For Your Calling--Day 5

Everydayness.

Some people attach boredom to that word but in fact, I think, in it resides the very power of God.

He (God) doesn't go off on a whim and decide it's too boring to keep the earth spinning, the seasons changing, and the sun precisely where it won't fry us to death.

He participates in the stability and life-giving routine of everydayness.

If you are following our path of the last few days, you are probably plowing new ground for you and your family by considering a whole food, plant-based eating regimen.

Everydayness must come along for the ride.

Oh, did I mention that everydayness only has power if your activity is optional? No points for going to work every day. Everydayness counts when you have the option to be random, occasional or completely absent.

So our next component of energy for your calling is as life-giving as good food. It is definitely optional, but carries the weight of the Word. It is the practice of meeting with God everyday in some context for some version of relationship-building. Yes, you can be random, occasional or completely absent.

But ignoring everydayness with God and expecting to find energy for your calling is its own version of insanity where you are doing nothing (with Him) and expecting different results.

I bet God's face is lighting up now at the very thought of another everyday encounter with you.
