Day 25: Blur

I've had an epically long day and I'm feeling pretty tired writing this, so I'll keep it short.

You ever have those days where you go through the whole day, look back on it, and think, "Man! I wasn't even really paying attention all day long." Sometimes I have those moments. I realize that the past x number of hours were really just a blur where I was mechanically doing some activity or the like. This isn't always a bad thing, it's particularly nice if said activity was boring or dreadful. But, sometimes I feel like I just blur my way through the enjoyable and pleasantries of daily life too.

Don't get me wrong, this doesn't happen 24/7, but I do occasionally catch myself with these thoughts.

God gives us such an incredible purpose for our life, it's amazing that I can go through such long periods simply mechanically going through the motions of doing this or that. It's like someone saved my life by taking a bullet for me and instead of living every day with renewed purpose, vigor, and energy, I find myself living some days like nothing exceptional ever happened.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. (Colossians 3:23-24)

Being a part of the body of Christ means that every little thing, every daily piece of life has significance in our Lord. It's important to remember that we live, work, and play by his power alone and every moment is a gift.

See ya tomorrow.
