Freep mail me to be on or off the Daily Bread ping list
Purpose in Routine
A rolling-ball clock in the British Museum struck me as a vivid illustration of the deadening effects of routine. A small steel ball traveled in grooves across a tilted steel plate until it tripped a lever on the other side. This tilted the plate back in the opposite direction, reversed the direction of the ball and advanced the clock hands. Every year, the steel ball traveled some 2,500 miles back and forth, but never really went anywhere.
Its easy for us to feel trapped by our daily routine when we cant see a larger purpose. The apostle Paul longed to be effective in making the gospel of Christ known. I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air (1 Cor. 9:26 niv). Anything can become monotonoustraveling, preaching, teaching, and especially being confined in prison. Yet Paul believed he could serve Christ his Lord in every situation.
Routine becomes lethal when we cant see a purpose in it. Pauls vision reached beyond any limiting circumstance because he was in the race of faith to keep going until he crossed the finish line. By including Jesus in every aspect of his life, Paul found meaning even in the routine of life.
And so can we.
Lord, give us renewed vision and energy to pursue the goal of making Christ known in the midst of our daily routine.
Jesus can transform our routine into meaningful service for Him.
To illustrate his unwavering resolve to preach the gospel to as many people as possible (1 Cor. 9:18-23), Paul used two athletic metaphorsa runner who keeps his eye on the finish line, and the targeted and precise punches of a boxer. These examples picture the passion, focus, commitment, dedication, and hard work needed to carry out his resolve. In 2 Timothy 4:7-8, Paul used the same two metaphors. While athletes compete to win a prize bestowed by men, Paul sought to win an eternal crown awarded by Jesus. Faithful believers will receive various types of crowns as their reward (2 Tim. 4:8; James 1:12; 1 Peter 5:4; Rev. 2:10). J.R. Hudberg

To: The Mayor
Good Morning and Thank you Mayor for sharing this great devotional.
It’s been a long time since I’ve visited Amy’s and I’m glad to see this still faithfully here each day.
Our former pastor Ray Ortlund said once “ The problem with life is that it’s so daily”... thought that was amuzing but so true..dishes washed only to be messed up again and again..routine.

Good Morning Geologist...
My daughter raises Goldens and at one point had 15 between two mamas... it was a mad house to say the least.
Nothing as sweet as a Golden Retriever...

Miniature Poodles are a favorite of mine. Absolutely wonderful companions. the hard part is the life span of dogs is much shorter than most of the owners. So it happens that one must part with several true devoted dogs over the years. HARD! And a major blessing for having had their devotion and loyalty as well! People could learn a lot from their dog. REALLY!
To: geologist
Oh we love Minature Poodles!! Our dearest pets have been a Sable Collie and a miniature Poodle...both gone now. And with my hubby going through some rough times with Parkinsons now he misses that poodle so much...She was actually smaller than a miniature..and yes we can learn a lot from our pets.
