A 'rhythm' is a tool to create a pattern in our daily lives to keep us connected with God.
It's what I need—a constant, regular 'beat' that keeps me anchored to God and his Kingdom. Without it, my life quickly descends into chaos. I get busy, get performance based, I notice that my anxiety increases, and I worry more quickly. I become more connected to my faults and my weakness than to my identity in Christ. I lose touch that I am made new, I am a son, I have purpose, I have family, God is my provider, He is loving, and that I am saved.
I want to have a rhythm to my days and weeks that keep me close to God and anchored in truth and the reality of his Kingdom in a culture that is not my own.
It’s the act of stepping out of the chaos of life and stepping into the rhythm of his Kingdom.
Below are some of the resources I use in my rhythm. Maybe they'll inspire yours.
