It has happened to me, and may happen to you to. You graduate, have dreams that you have spent your WHOLE life collecting and preparing… and then… WHAM.
reality hits.
No, it is not friendly out there, and nobody gives you extra points for being an honor student or being extra charming…
And, something else is introduced, or re-introduced [from a foggy memory, perhaps]…
the MUNDANE.
the Day-to-day, the practical…
NOT, life-changing, enthusiastic, brilliant, or anything else, just
…MUNDANE
And, it begins to seem as if the big theological truths and discourse you have experienced and grown to cherish, don’t exactly apply to your daily, MUNDANE life.
Yet, we serve a big God, and a God who is oh, so kind.
A Father who sent his perfect Son to experience just this, the MUNDANE.
And a God who thus infused our most insignificant activities with meaning.
And, so, in a way we are RESCUED from the MUNDANE.
As believers, we are called to call each of our actions/ lack of action with WORSHIP.
Paul shares with us in Colossians that in anything… “word OR deed” that we are to do all in the name of Jesus as an act of thanksgiving and worship.
Luckily, there is an innumerable amount of grace, and we are certainly not expected to immediately have this practice down.
Thus, we will fall down, and be pulled back up, by our most amazing Shepherd, and ask with persistence for our MUNDANE lives to be transformed by the truth of the GOSPEL and infused forever with meaning…
