Mundane

Is life mundane? Are all you are concerned about are the commonplaces and ordinary experiences of everyday life? We all get so worried about what is typical, what we think should happen, and we try to make sure that everything, everyday, runs exactly the same. I wonder what we are missing when this is the case in our lives? I wonder how much we miss God who is showing up in every situation and every circumstance in our lives.

Jesus said, "You're tied down to the mundane; I'm in touch with what is beyond your horizons. You live in terms of what you see and touch. I'm living on other terms. I told you that you were missing God in all this. You're at a dead end. If you won't believe I am who I say I am, you're at the dead end of sins. You're missing God in your lives."

John 8:23-24

Are we actually in touch with something beyond ourselves, our physical world, and what we can see? We so much live life on the terms of only what we can see, we can prove, and we can touch. There is a whole other dimension of life, a whole other set of terms to live by. If we can live more in the spiritual we see God more and more. If we live on in the physical we miss God more and more. It is all a matter of attention. What will you place your attemtion on today? Will it be on your physical body and what you can see and touch? Will it be on the spiritual terms of life and what is possible and hopeful and inspirational? I want so much for Christians to not miss out on God who is around all the time but we miss God because our focus is on the mundane what will happen to me in the next moment rather than on the eternal what is happening with God at this moment. Do not focus on the mundane today. Do not miss God today because you are at a dead end in the physical world. Look for God to show up. Place your attention on looking for God to make things happen, to put people and circumstances together for your good. Live life on those terms and life will never be mundane. Life will be an exciting gift that is new each and everyday, full of excitement about watching how God will show up!
