The reason rhythm matters
Reading Time: < 1 minute
My normal writing routine is to write in the morning, but today, that didn’t happen. Since our church was back to its normal schedule after a break over the holidays, I found myself writing my daily post in the late afternoon instead of in the early morning hours.
It’s still getting done, but it’s been a little tougher doing it.
Rhythms are powerful because they help us develop consistency. They allow us to grow in our habits. But they have to be able to breathe on days when schedules are disrupted.
That’s the difference between rules and rhythms.
Rules are rigid.
Rhythms are flexible.
Rules break.
Rhythms bend.
Rules are enforced.
Rhythms are encouraged.
Grace is a rhythm. Breathe it in.
