Needing Rules At All

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16

Good Enough, 74-78    Psalm 25:4-7
Are you a rule-oriented person, or do you chafe a little against such strictures? Is there a balance for you that works best?

I am a rule breaker.

I am a rule follower.

Think of the rules that go along with the practice of something you have mastered, be it a hobby or artistic expression or job-related skill. How do these rules provide the structure for creativity to be possible?

What spiritual habit would you like to be reminded to do each day? Pick a physical reminder (a pebble in your pocket, an alarm clock, a paper chain) that can provide the daily cue to make it possible.

Dear God, be with me as I build new habits into my day that are fruitful and life- giving. Grant me freedom and grace to trust this process, so that I might continue to grow toward that You, look more like You, and be better used for Your divine purposes.

Amen.
