It's amazing to me how our bodies can quickly adjust to the environments around us and we get used to the way things are. The problem with that is our minds can get used to the environments we are in too. We seem to strive to get to a point that is comfortable and then strive to maintain that level of comfortability. Then we develop habits of being more concerned with our environment than with the people we are sharing that environment with. Next thing you know, you're stuck in a rut.
Jesus is a guy that likes to break out of ruts. He challenged the things people did regularly with questions of priority. Like, does it really matter if we wash our hands before we eat if our hearts are corrupt? Is it really more important to keep the Sabbath then to save someone or heal someone? Things that seem important can easily trap us and we lose sight of what we should really be focused on, on what the Father is doing.
When we return to Miami in a few days, please pray that we will not get stuck in ruts and that we will constantly evaluate what we are doing, making sure we are doing it with the right priorities.
How about you? Are you stuck in a rut and can't seem to break out of it? Can you think of ways to reach out to your neighbors and co-workers, maybe God is stirring up stuff in their hearts and they just need someone to talk to? Pray that God gives you opportunities to share his love in practical ways with others.
