12 Daily Life Together: The Operating System of Heaven
Every organism needs an operating system:
- DNA for the body
- Source code for a program
- Neural patterns for a mind
Christianity has an operating system too.
And it’s clearly spelled out in Scripture:
“Daily.”
- Hebrews 3:12–14
- Acts 2:46
- Acts 5:42
- Luke 9:23
- Deuteronomy 6:6–7
- Psalm 1
- Hebrews 10:24–26
The word “daily” is not a poetic flourish.
It is the entire architecture of the Kingdom.
Why daily?
Because transformation, just as with any human toddler learning to talk, requires constant exposure, immersion.
Constant daily saturation:
- to Truth
- to Light
- to correction
- to encouragement
- to repentance
- to love
- to accountability
- to presence
Jesus knew something modern culture has forgotten:
“We are what we eat.”
If you immerse a plant in sunlight daily, keep it watered and weeded and fed, it thrives.
If you immerse it in sunlight, but do nothing else, and only weekly, most will die.
Daily is the difference between:
- relationship and ritual
- formation and inspiration
- transformation and stagnation
Daily is not about scheduling. Scheduling will ruin us.
Daily is about saturation, and creative unplanned twists, like life itself.
Daily creates:
- priesthood
- unity
- resilience
- empathy
- repentance
- humility
- power
- holiness
- joy
Weekly creates:
- spectatorship
- inconsistency
- hypocrisy
- performance
- emotional sugar highs
- anonymity
- fragility
The System schedules Jesus.
The Ecosystem saturates in Jesus.
Daily is the operating system of Heaven. There is no clock or calendar in Heaven. “Before there was time,” Paul wrote, speaking of Heavenly Things. Life is life. Caging in daily Life by fooling us with schedules, titles, and programs kills Life, or seriously diminishes its ultimate destiny, by orders of magnitude. Guaranteed.
