Scripture used: Romans 8:28 NIV, Exodus 3:4 NIV
Paula Gooder, Everyday God: the Spirit of the Ordinary, "We need to learn to be 'ordinary' people who can celebrate God in the ordinary things of life… We need to be alert to the possibility that this event or that encounter might just provide us with a glimpse of glory."
John Ortberg, The Life You've Always Wanted, "Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life in our day. Hurry can destroy our souls. Hurry can keep us from living well… For many of us the great danger is not that we renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it."
