Spiritual Practices for Everyday Life
Everyday life today is busier and more distracting than it has ever been before. While cell phones and texting make it easier to keep track of children and each other, they also make it harder to get away from the demands that overwhelm us. Time, it seems, is a shrinking commodity. But God, the Creator of time, has given us the keys to leading a life that may be challenging but not overwhelming. In fact, he offers us tools to do what seems impossible and come away refreshed and renewed. These tools are called spiritual practices, or spiritual disciplines.
Spiritual practices are holy habits. They are rooted in God’s word, and they go back to creation itself. God has hardwired us to thrive when we obey him, even when it seems like his instructions defy our common sense.
When we engage in the holy habits that God has ordained, time takes on a new dimension. What seems impossible is actually easy; it’s easy because we are tapping into God’s resources.
The holy habits that we call spiritual practices are all geared to position us in a place where we can allow the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us, to grant us power and strength to do the things we can’t do on our own. They take us to a place where we can become intimate with God.
