“The architecture of my life was just like everyone else’s. Which worked until I collapsed.” @thecommonrule
“What was a game changer was putting some habits and limitations around my schedule.” @thecommonrule
“We like quick fixes instead of small changes. We ask pastors and doctors for a principle or a pill.” @thecommonrule
We ask our phones (rather than God): “who do I need to become today?” not just “what I need to do today?” @thecommonrule
“You are free when you are free to do what you’re made to do. Pick the master whose yoke is light.” @thecommonrule
We’re going to bow our knee to something. Personal choice at every moment leads to decision fatigue. @thecommonrule
ONE SMALL STEP
Flip the order of your morning — like Justin talks about “scripture before phone” as a habit that has a big impact.
This week, I’ll invite you into kneeling prayer at noon. Read a Psalm and kneel at lunchtime to humble yourself before God — to take the limits he gives as good gifts.
