THE MOTIONS

This last week I have been going through motions.  All I know is one day was Monday, next was Tuesday and next was Saturday. Same days, same cycle. Nothing exciting really.You know those days when time just cruises through. You can't really pinpoint what you were up to.All you know is it was morning you woke up, it was evening you slept.

As I was reflecting through a couple of things, I realized how possible it is to simply exist. I learnt that there are people who exist for many years while others who live.Well, I have sometimes been in the former category.Living without purpose.Being alive only because I am not dead. Whiling each day away. Complaining about literally everything even about why the sky is blue.

So this week I have been praying that God would help me to realize the blessing of everyday.To know the thrill of every moment. To thankfully acknowledge the tiny miracles that He does for us each day.To wake up each day with gratitude and say "This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it" 

One stanza in Matthew West's Motions song says:

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
What if I had given everything,
Instead of going through the motions?

For each day God gives us, there is a purpose to fulfill and I pray that we will live each to the full.
