Routine is good, it helps us feel like we are in control of things. Even for the most adventurous, having life always be unpredictable leaves them uneasy at times. Routine also gives us discipline, but it so easily makes us feel like we’re being productive or even honoring God with what we do. Routine can also help us forget God and rely on ourselves. Heck, if I did everything yesterday without thinking about God at all, what are the chances I’m going to be doing the same things today and stop and dwell on Him? Life becomes routine too quickly, may we come to the Cross daily to be refreshed and allow every new day to bring us closer to Him. Lord, I want to be closer to you than I was yesterday and the day before that.
