Today’s devotion has been borrowed from Joyce Meyer. I always like her daily devotions whenever I stumble upon them, and I thought this one was particularly timely for the season of life I’m experiencing now. Whatever task we’ve been given in life, let’s work at it as if doing it for the Lord, even if it might not make sense at the moment or to anyone else. :)  
 

Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men.

—Colossians 3:23

Life wasn’t meant to be dull and boring. We are not created by God to merely do the same thing over and over until it has no meaning at all. God is creative. If you don’t think so, just look around you. Many of the animals, bugs, plants, birds, trees, and other living things are unique, out of the ordinary, and totally amazing.

You were created to be unique, out of the ordinary and totally amazing too. That is why I think it is good to occasionally do something that seems outrageous to people and perhaps even to you. Do something that people won’t expect. It will keep your life interesting and keep other people from thinking they have you tucked away nicely in a little box of their own design.

One great woman who was seventy-six years of age said that her goal was to do at least one outrageous thing per week. Isn’t that a great idea? If you purposefully do something out of the norm on a regular basis, this will keep you from getting stuck in a rut, bored and unenthused about your life.

What outrageous thing will you do today?

In love,
