Day 35 and some days you're not as productive as you would like to be. The cylinders never fired today. They needed to, but they didn't. The load of work on my desk shouted out for energy and focus - but today was a day of distractions and dilution. is it delayed jet-lag from Africa trip; is it lack of chocolate; is it poor valley air (you should have seen the smog layer as I drove over the grapevine down into the valley on Tuesday - yuck!); is it teenage boys around; is it ......
Truly it was just one of those days. They don't happen very often - maybe once every six-day months -but when they happen what do you do? Red Bull it?
In my job inspiration and creativity are big deals. when its a paper day and I have to push emails out, budgets out, reports out etc - you just knuckle down and get through the day (caffeine fueled); but when its creativity or inspiration you need to write a message - yikes! When this kind of day happens....its like trying to get blood out of a stone - impossible.
So what does a follower of Jesus Christ do when something like this hits?
Try 2 Corinthians 4:7 "we have this treasure in jars of clay "
It's called the human factor.
God knows it.
Days like this happen.
It affirms that all the glory is God's, not ours .....or in this case not mine's.
