quiet monotony pt.2

in the morning i awake for the days tasks do i ready read, work, eat, sleep repeat in the eyes of the world it is a boring life none is “extravagant” none is “exciting” “where is the travel?” “where is the fun?” “where is the pleasure?” they say they call it a boring life i would argue it is a quiet monotonous one its beauty lies in the inbetween the gentle reminders of His love and provision as i awake, He shows me His mercy: to live and to breathe to stand in awe of His presence to behold His beauty in His creation as i read, He speaks to me: He whispers of His love He comforts me in my distress He aligns my will with His as i work, He dwells with me: for what do i work? for what more purpose can we have? than to glorify the One most high as i eat, He communes with me: the body i consumed the blood i drank He reminds me that He is always with me as i sleep, You cover me: You still my heart You still my mind You alone provide me rest you may ask, “is this life?” “where is the extravagance?” “where is the excitement?” well, i say to you every day is a new day of His mercies His love and grace to enchant us once again to see how He wants to bless His servant to see how God will use this life what else could be more extravagant? what else could be more exciting? to be blessed by the Creator of it all to be used for His perfect will yes, i say it is a quiet monotonous one but rather it is the most fulfilling one this life was not meant for worldly pleasures but to alone serve the most holy and perfect One in quiet monotony is the most joy found for it is a reminder of Your mercy every day, the price You paid on that cross, and the stillness and peace i can rest in because of it silence the noises of the world, Lord hide me in Your love, Lord for when i am quiet, i am heard and when i am hidden, i am seen
