I did not know what was going on. I just stared at her in a spirit of
unbelief. I couldn't understand what I did wrong. 

She looked at me, and her smile faded, and then confessed. "I forgot to
put the coffee grounds in the coffee pot. That's why the water is 
clear. It was my mistake." 

For the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage to confess to some wrongdoing
is a moment in marital history. 

I stared at her for a few moments, not knowing what to think, and then I
broke down in hilarious laughter. "So, I'm not drinking coffee this 
morning." 

Together we laughed for a few moments, then she went back into the
kitchen and made the coffee all over again, and this time she did not 
forget to put the coffee grounds in the coffee pot. 

As I was drinking the real coffee, I pondered the issue a little bit.
How many times I am doing that sort of thing in my daily life? Maybe 
I'm going through certain rituals and habits and not realizing that I'm 
not really doing it what I think I'm doing. 

Just like I thought I was drinking coffee, maybe there are times I think
I'm doing what God wants me to do, and perhaps I'm not, just going 
through the motions. 

In reading the Scriptures that morning, I read, “This is a faithful
saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they 
which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. 
These things are good and profitable unto men” (Titus 3:8). 

Each day, my goal is to make sure I'm carefully doing what God wants me
to do for His honor and glory.
