Separating spirituality/Sanctuary from daily life

I have been busy traveling in last two months. Around April, I tried to slow down a bit and pay more attention to God's guidance in 50 days. There was no significant change, then I started serving with team but I realize that 50 days should not be the limit. I should always be alert and pay attention to God.

In CCCOWE the exegesis and devotion session of the first day, the speaker Rev. Edmund Chan of IDMC(Intentional Disciple Making Church) was sharing Psalm 73 and inviting people to the sanctuary and refuge. As in John 4 the place of the worship was no longer in Jerusalem nor certain mountain. Before I came to Taiwan for CCCOWE, I brought a booklet, "The practice of the presence of God" from South Asia. As I was asking advice about personal devotion with a founder of a theological college. His told me that his quiet time and prayer life is merging in his daily life. He was kind of surprise himself as he thought he didn't separate his daily ministry and devotional time. Yes, worship, devotion, meditating God's Words, ministry, serving .... should be involuntary part in our life. Yes, we should be aware that there are no different between the sanctuary, refuge, worship and the presence of God. I think the key is to worship with the Spirit and the truth.
