I thought that would be a good subject to talk about my morning....my "sacred quite time" with God. Which actually became a different time of engagement with God...via my 4 1/2 year old who decided to wake up an hour earlier.
What God revealed to me is how we tend to get into a routine that we deem as sacred. The, "this is the only way I can get intimate with God," routine. Where we have to have the same methods, time, and disclipine to feel complete. I know it's legalistic, but when you're in the middle of it....well, it becomes comfortable and familiar.
God spoke the words yesterday through a great friend, and amplified them this morning. Simply put, Jesus never saw inconveinence. He only saw opportunity. By church/ministry standards today, Jesus' ministry would be seen as random at times and continually interrupted. He didn't get the one week planning time. The 22 minutes of worship. The welcome note. The 35 minutes time to preach, with an invitation.
No, he found people where they were. He got in the middle of the mess. He took every encounter and made it ministry. So this morning I see this loud interruption to my normal morning as an opportunity. And I just heard my 1 year old fall out of the bed, gotta run to another interrup...i mean opportunity.
Breathe In & Smile Out,
Chris
