The motions of daily life

The motions of a daily routine are bound by habit.  Some people go through life performing the same daily routines without a second thought. Routines are an important part of daily life as they help us to stay organized and on top of things. However, many people aren't truly happy.  Do you wake up each morning with a burning passion for life, or are you just going through the motions? It is important to realize and understand that your life has a special purpose and is meaningful, not only to the people around you, but to your Creator, God.

Matthew West wrote a song called The Motions. This is one of my favorite songs as I believe that it summarizes the daily life of every individual.  A few of the verses stand out saying, " I don't want to go through the motions. I don't want to go one more day, without your all-consuming passion inside of me. I don't want to spend my whole life asking, 'what if I had given everything?' Instead of going through the motions." These lyrics speak with immeasurable power. They made me think about my own life and what I could be doing differently so that I am not just going through the motions. 

I know that God is not only my Creator and Savior, but that He has a special plan for my life. God has a special plan for everyone's life and each person is capable of accomplishing great things. It is up to us whether we choose to keep going  through the motions each day, or whether we choose to take a leap of faith and follow God who will set us free from going through the motions of this life. Are you ready to be set free?
