"Everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. For it is made holy by the word of God and prayer” (1 Timothy 4:4).
This verse sums up a new direction I've been taking in life. This is because life is just so hopelessly fruitless. Let me give you a snippet.
It is the early hours of the afternoon, staggering back into the room from lunch which took place after a squandered morning, I lie on my bed.
My mind wanders and imagines, it throws me images of me studying, studying and satisfied, my work thoroughly enjoyed, a smile planted on my face. I shoot up, feeling determined as these hallucinations drag me to the chair before the table.
Eagerly I clear the clutter on my table, ruins of yesterday. Yesterday's failure.
As my laptop switches on, I unlock my tablet, propping it up as a sort of second screen.
I find the slides and open them. I open the word processor on my laptop. Scrolling to the first slide my heart falls. I am already disillusioned. The content strangely familiar, soliciting a wave of complacency within me. Another day was about to be wasted.
And so it is against this daily evil that I begin everything with thanksgiving. I sanctify it and eventually I enjoy it.
