I’ve been in this though process of living for HIm in the mundane of the everyday. And then I get hit with this from Ozzy today:
The true test of a person’s spiritual life and character is not what he does in the extraordinary moments of life, but what he does during the ordinary times when there is nothing tremendous or exciting happening. A person’s worth is revealed in his attitude toward the ordinary things of life when he is not under the spotlight.
Ugh. Right where I’m at. I so want SOMETHING to happen. I seem to be waiting… On the tragic, perhaps. So, even though it’s horrible, the anticipation is ruling my thought process and creating this overall negative mindspace. And then I’ve thought, perhaps the uber-exciting is just around the corner! Something really cool,
But, I’m reminded of how my “waiting” has become my focus.
We are called on to wait on the Lord, so, I could certainly form my obsessions into a Spiritual thing and explain away all my actions. But, I’m afraid that would be a gross mis-intepretation of scripture.
In my waiting, I need to be willing to be used by God where I am. In this very day.
Lord, help my “do” to be rooted in the living for You today.
