Blessed Routine

Bible in a Year:

• 1 Chronicles 22–24
• John 8:28–59

Without [God], who can eat or find enjoyment?

Ecclesiastes 2:25 Watching the morning crowd pour onto the train, I felt the Monday blues kick in. From the sleepy, grumpy faces of those in the jam-packed cabin, I could tell no one looked forward to going to work. Frowns broke out as some jostled for space and more tried to squeeze in. Here we go again, another mundane day at the office.

Then, it struck me that just a year before, the trains would have been empty because COVID-19 lockdowns had thrown our daily routines into disarray. We couldn’t even go out for a meal, and some actually missed going to the office. But now we were almost back to normal, and many were going back to work—as usual. “Routine,” I realized, was good news, and “boring” was a blessing!

King Solomon came to a similar conclusion after reflecting on the seeming pointlessness of daily toil (Ecclesiastes 2:17–23). At times, it appeared endless, “meaningless,” and unrewarding (v. 21). But then he realized that simply being able to eat, drink, and work each day was a blessing from God (v. 24).

When we’re deprived of routine, we can see that these simple actions are a luxury. Let’s thank God that we can eat and drink and find satisfaction in all our toil, for this is His gift (3:13).

Reflect & Pray

What simple blessings can you thank God for today? What can you do for someone who’s in need or is unable to enjoy life’s simple routines?

Dear God, thank You for my “usual” routines, no matter how boring they may seem at times. Help me to be grateful for Your every blessing in life.

Smart...you had a plan! And it worked! Great score!

Hi there, Rus! Always good to see you. Thanks, as always, for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word!

Another item:
I remember seeing country singer Jimmy Dean perform on TV, even before he started a company producing breakfast sausage. He was tall and thin. Sometimes he would yodel.

Jiffy Pop Corn was around in the 60’s, I’m pretty sure.
We kids got practice moving the foil plate around on the gas burner, until the silvery balloon full of popcorn billowed up.

Chun KIng Chicken Chow Mein was my first exposure to what we in Detroit accepted as “Authentic Chinese Food”.
It was sold in an assembly of two or three separate cans.

I remember my first Diet Coke....and my first Coors Light aka Colorado Kool-aide.
