Summary: I’ve heard many sermons over the years that touch on the idea of “going through the motions” in this life. Being stuck in a rut, perhaps or just doing the “daily grind.” I smile when I remember my kids voicing this feeling saying, “Is it Friday yet? I’m tired of school!” We all have these times, where we are feeling compelled to evaluate why we are stuck and the purpose of the motions we go through each day. Ask these questions: What is the purpose of each action you do? Do your actions fall in line with what God has called you to do? Romans 8:28 says, “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” You and I have been called by God to do a specific work on this earth. We have all been called to share his love with those around us, to reach our world for him. As you go through the motions today, do them for God. As you speak to those around you today, may the good news be shared. Being stuck in a rut will happen, but remembering the greater purpose is the key to joyful success.
