Purpose in Routine

The tick-tock sound of a clock is such a routine the clock perform which is quite boring to observe by so many. Of course I need not tell you how relevant it is both to the clock and the user.

Does the importance then negate the stress of performing such routine?

Well that question may well be answered if the clock is were human or you could place yourself under a strict observation of the tick-tock probably just for an hour. It’s time consuming right? But I wish you can attempt it, perhaps you may understand time management when you realise that every moment wasted, even the clock was at work.

That aside. The purpose of the clock isn't the tick-tock, but to give time at strategic moments( probably in hours or minutes as the case may be) but that isn’t possible without the routine. Thus the goal is kept in view whilst performing the routine. 

There’s no goal achieved easily. If it comes so easy, check it and find it ingenue. While we set our goal(s), we carry out other “minute” task(s) to assist us reach the goal. In some cases the task may look too big and eventually become a goal for some. While others do not loose focus whether the goal or task looks bigger or smaller and vice versa.

No matter the frequency of the task, the surrounding circumstances, value that may be lost, or even criticism, may become distractions to us but keeping our purpose in view help us actualise it.

Paul’s frequent travelling, preaching could have seem a routine. He must have said to himself, ‘I have to do it, I have to go there else, some may feel I’m un-serious’. That wasn’t his driver though, cos he got his eyes, his mind and his whole fixed on the purpose and in Christ  hence he never loosed focus.

…when I am with the Jews or the Gentiles, I become one like them even though I am not subject to their law, I fit in as much as I can and gain their confidence; so that I can bring them to Christ. But I do not discard the law of Christ. With those oppressed, I share their oppression and find common ground so to bring them to Christ.

…I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I Corinth 9:20-26

The distractions of life both to our spiritual and physical goal are too numerous, some reoccurring over several number of times. Keeping our eyes in Christ while performing our routine task(s) is the Only possible means of achieving our purpose.

You’ve got dreams? Keep them in view, work harder and stick to Christ. You’ve got none?? It isn’t late to do so and follow suit.

Start it now.
