Nothing Much

So today I'm not doing very much. I'm not feeling real good combination sinus and bladder infection -- yucky combination! Loaded the dishwasher, vacuumed the living room, talked on the phone to one of my dear friends. Now I'm just contemplating what it means to "Walk in the Spirit."

That's been the subject of my daily devotionals for the past several days and then it ended up being the subject of the Adult Bible Study Fellowship that I teach many Sundays.

Does "walking in the spirit" make everything I do sacred? That was suggested one day in my devotional reading. So as I sit here and blog (actually listening to country music on my iTunes) am I doing something sacred? That kind of sends a shiver up my spine.

God is so practical and relevant. We (or at least I) often want to dramatize my relationship with God. Maybe that comes from the Sunday School lessons of my childhood. It's necessary to provide Biblical accounts in a way that children can understand, but do we keep God at that same distance in our adult understanding?

He's here. In the simple and the profound. In the things I think I understand and those I don't. When I'm feeling 'on top of the world' and when I'm completely 'under the weather.' He doesn't simply want to observe my life, He wants to provide all the direction and guidance in each little thing that actually brings significant meaning. Even in the "nothing much" moments.
