Ho hum! Another ordinary, normal day here on planet Earth. Not much is happening, not much is changing right now and things are bordering on boring. Well, great! This is a good thing.
Don't we all know people who seem to go from crisis to crisis. The drama queens, the sensationalists, make every day a trial or a stress packed event. Living unintentionally and having life catch them off guard, not contemplating consequences, these folks are the stress laced, adrenaline junkies who seem constantly on the ragged edge. Or, they are the victimized, low energy, depressed ones dragging their egos behind them through dark, endless days.
Surely there has to be a balance for these people, an ordinary, "catch your breath" kind of day once in a while? I thank God for plain, common days, and for the ability to live intentionally considering the consequences of my words and actions daily. It has not always been this way for me. I have been both a person with a victim-mentality and a drama queen. I am here to say that without Godly balance I could not even come close to enjoying a quiet, common day.
There is peace in laying out your day before God early. Seeking Him intentionally as the source and organizer of each new day is the best way to start. Whether the events of the day are predictable and boring or full of opportunities and new obligations, bring all before the throne of grace right away. There is strength and power in giving the day back to the Provider, Jehovah Jireh. He will partner with you to make it a good one, no matter what! Doma
