My friend Carol is so committed to forwarding devotionals to many every morning. Her passion is just amazing. Carol sent this devotional from Max Lucado and I thought we could read it together. You do not have to be married for it to make sense.We all have routines whether single or married.
God Answers the Mess of Life
You stare into the darkness. The ceiling fan whirls above you. Your
husband slumbers next to you. In minutes the alarm will sound, and the
demands of the day will shoot you like a clown out of a cannon into a
three-ring circus of meetings, bosses, and baseball practices.
And for the millionth time you'll make breakfast, schedules, and
payroll... but for the life of you, you can't make sense of this thing
called life. Its beginnings and endings. Cradles and cancers and
cemeteries and questions.
The meaning of life! The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of
life with one word: grace! Do we really understand it?
Ezekiel 36:26 says, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit
within you!"
Grace calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off!
