This week we're talking about our daily routines and what routines you may have in your life. From John chapter 4 verse 13 and 14, “Jesus said to her, everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

You know, our daily routines can condition us into comfortable living. We settle for repeated rhythms and expect our lives to change. Day after day, month after month, year after year, we find our life in the things that satisfy only our immediate needs and desires. Our hearts long for so much more, but we settle for so much less. Too often we live for the temporary, but Christ invites us into the life our souls are longing for. If we allow Jesus to disrupt our daily patterns of living, we can develop the eyes to see the alternative life that Christ offers. A life that satisfies beyond our temporary needs and desires. A life that generates more life. A life that brings light to our work and our play. And a life that spills over into our families and our friends. Allow God to change up your daily routine and see how amazing his grace is for you and what he can do in your life.

Let me finish out for us. God help me to encounter you beyond all my daily routines. Disrupt my comfort so I will be open to receiving the life that you graciously offer. Mold my heart so I will desire the eternal things you place before me. We give you all the glory and the praise, Lord. In your precious name we pray. Amen.
