Priorities

Dear <put you name here>,

Do you really think that your email and RSS feeds <add whatever is taking your attention> are more important that my Word this AM?

Love, God.

SMACK!

Does this smack anyone else upside the head like it did me?

Thanks to fmckinnon for the quote

We get busy, and we forget who we really are. We get hurt, and we forget who we really are. We find ourselves in the midst of trials, and we lose ourselves – forgetting who we are. But our identity in Christ is power.

But our identity in Christ is power.
Arron Chambers – Remember Who You Are

So long as we imagine it is we who have to look for God, we must often lose heart. But it is the other way about—He is looking for us.

Monotony

Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again” to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we. – G.K. Chesterton

To those who say Church is boring, say this to yourself: ‘Church is boring because I am boring. I am boring because I don’t think of other people enough.’
