A Divine Conspiracy: When the Sacred Visits the Humdrum

In chasing after the extraordinary, we overlook the ordinary, and we forget that it is often in the humdrum moments that God works and moves in us. When we prioritize our desires and seek control over our lives, we become too fixated on the future, or too absorbed in the past, and we make ourselves unavailable for what is in front of us in the present. God has never asked us to perform miracles in order to draw near to Him; He simply calls us to remain faithful to what He has placed in front of us, and to open our minds and hearts to the work of the Spirit. In doing so, we open ourselves up to the possibility of our ordinary, humdrum days being transformed into something sacred.
