Good Wednesday morning! I didn't have my usual _____! You can fill in the blank with whatever you want, but we all might have those mornings, evenings...entire days, where we didn't or don't have our usual something. Perhaps you wake up to a cup of coffee and the automatic brewer didn't work this morning, or maybe the radio station changed programming formats on you overnight. Whatever the cause, sometimes we feel out of sorts because we didn't get our usual. I know from back in the day that getting up late or receiving an early morning phone call could make a whole day off in ways that ranged from the obvious to the subtle. We tend to take comfort from the constants in life.
This life is so complex that to make every day completely different would probably drive most of us over the edge. I don't have to make any wild guesses to say that most of us do similar things to start most days. We like our mornings to have at least a bit of routine to them. The noise from the wind has the cat out of sorts this morning; he doesn't know whether to go or stay, or even which side of the desk to park on. Whatever is making us out of sorts on a given day does not have the staying power that Christ has in our hearts. Jesus knew that in this chaotic world we would need something stable. He is known as the cornerstone, the head of the church, the rock of our faith, the Almighty One, and other terms of strength, stability, and permanence. God the Father rules from heaven and we learn from the Bible that He does not change having been perfect from the beginning. Want to start the day consistently? Look to the Savior and live in Him.
Have a great Wednesday in Christ Jesus,
Bucky
