Someone gave me a bag of "starter" and a list of instructions for making a special bread. I had tried this unsuccessfully in the past, but I still visualized myself taking the finished product from the oven, and proudly handing out my own starter bags. Though off to a sincere start, I managed to misplace the instructions, and found them a couple of days after I was supposed to add the next ingredients. So much for that bread.
The thought here, though, is in those specific daily instructions, the most common one being "mush the bag". A simple, unremarkable, insignificant task, yet skip a day of "mush the bag" and your bread project is toast.
Do you have days full of simple, unremarkable, seemingly insignificant tasks? Does your prayer tend to "Lord, I'm busy, but this is not really what I had in mind. Could I do something a little more...noticeable, or something that would really point people to You?" Maybe your prayer is "Lord, I'm tired of this waiting. I want to get on with my life." Can you still be doing the Lord's will while your tasks go unnoticed by others? Are those days you spend mentally drumming your fingers just as needful? Of course. The Lord has carefully numbered each day for you. So read His directions daily, and discover how you can best glorify Him as you "mush the bag".
Psalm 86:12 "I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify Thy name forever."
