I Don't Wanna Go Through the Motions

It seems that the song "Through the Motions" has come up quite a bit in the last year....I wonder if that means that it is important and God is reminding me of how important it is to NOT just go through the motions.  It was the theme song for Discovery, we sang it on Mission Trip, and at church camp.  The song came to mind yesterday during Su's message about the Lord's Prayer.  Most of us have that prayer memorized, so I wonder how often we actually think about the words and what they mean while we are saying them.  Read through the Lord's prayer below and as you do really think about what the words mean...don't just go through the motions.

Our father, who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
and give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
for thine is the kingdom, and the power
and the glory forever.  Amen


grace & peace
