It has been a day of passing time.

Of crazy moments, of expanding demands and pressing issues, of too much to do and a scarcity of time, as we creep in traffic, climb phone trees, wait our turn to pay, rushing through the mundane and climbing carnal ladders.

We need to be first in line but Christ asks us to go last.

We have demands but Christ asks us to abide in peace.

Worried with impatience and willful; we do what we don’t want to do and fail to do what God’s divinely assigned us to. At sunset we review and see;

We’ve profaned the moment in our haste, blind to the inner mystery of Your working.

Now in stillness we sigh, and release the truth; we covet time for our self.

Living in scarcity we have failed to trust and believed the lie that God’s love could fail to provide the needed. We empty self and open cleansed hands and lift our faces.

Whispering now, all sufficient Spirit have more of me.

Still. Listening. Waiting. Hearts turned and in tune. We hear Love.

Come.

Peace, yes this is You.

Power, yes this is You.

Hope, yes this is You.

Rest, yes this is You.

There is joy, it overcomes weariness in a soul surge of worship.

Spirit overflowing ready now in cooperation.

We go, now yoked to Jesus our Rest, Savior, Beginning and End.

Renewed to serve the Potentate of Time.

Elisabeth Elliot writes in her book- Love has a price tag: Inspiring stories that will open your heart to life’s little miracles, “treating as meaningless that which is freighted with meaning. Treating as common that which is hallowed. Regarding as mere triviality what is really a divine design. Profanity is failure to see the inner mystery.”

If you realize you are profaning time. Hit the reset button with these 3 steps.

Confess and own your bad habits, attitudes, willfull impatience, selfish coveting of minutes and me-time and your fear that God is not sufficient to multiply and provide you daily all that you need to accomplish His purposes.

Cleanse your soul by accepting God’s forgiveness and inviting “Spirit take more of me.” You don’t need a filling of Spirit, you need an emptying of flesh.

Come to Jesus in Cooperation by taking up your cross and following where the Potentate of Time and the Beginning & the End will take you. Try to keep a “moment”dialogue through the day as you encounter your flesh rising up in panic, worry, fear, impatience, or self-coveting. Ask to see the lies you believe that engage a wilfullness to profanity (Failure to see the inner mystery of the moment.) Ask to “rest” in each moment that is a divine appointment. Continually worship with thanksgiving in mundane task, the practice of patience, and sharing the gift of the Christmas spirit which is sacrficial giving. “Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
