I have been reading Mark Batterson's book, "Wild Goose Chase" and am being challenged to break the routine. Something I have found that has happened in planting a church here in Foley is that the daily miracles that God does in my life and the community of believers at New LIfe can get to be "expected" and therefore "ordinary". NOthing is ordinary about God's miraculous. This morning I took my 9 year old son onto the deck and watched the sun rise, brilliant orange breaking through the eastern horizon. When it did we were able to see the blanket of fog that covers the wild life area to the east of our home. We talked about how God has put a blanket over the ground until it's time to get up. We laughed at the trees that started to poke their arms out of the fog as they did an early morning stretch. Nothing ordinary about God putting His creation to bed and pulling the covers up until morning.
What's extraordinary in your life that has become routine and ordinary. Look for the hand of God in creation today to break you from your sleepiness. He is out there, what does He look like to you today?
