Okay, enough with flying laptops.
Today, I woke up and pondered about my state with God. I committed my day to God, and while I looked into the mirror as I was washing up, I saw a reflection of me. It was an inverted one, but still reflecting my physical features the same.
Same ol’, same ol’.
I mean, it’d be different if there was a zit the size of a 20cent coin on my forehead that erupted overnight .. or my scalp decided to uproot all my hair. So .. I really wouldn’t expect a major change to happen to me physically over the course of one night.
As I drove to work, I pondered. About how the traffic’s almost the same, about how I know what to expect at specific portions of my journey to work, and parking, and about how the office access system is 10 full minutes faster than actual time.
My desk looks the same, my desktop looks the same.
And as I sat down, I asked myself,
“Have I stopped expecting changes?”
I think it’s really easy to be caught up with the routine of thing. When day to day things like giving thanks for the food, praying for the sick, leading worship become the back of your hand .. it’s easy to lose track.
The track of which God wants you to go on.
It’s not that we’re outrightly going against God’s will, but sometimes we’re just ignorant of what God is trying to tell us.
It’s like the man who looks in the mirror, walks away and forgets how he looks like.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. - James 1:22-24
Did I forget what I look like this morning?
I hope not.
