So I'm currently sitting in my driveway, engine off, groceries awaiting feeling nothing but sorry for myself. Feeling lousy, depleted, unwanted& alone and then I happen to remember the study I taught only a few hours ago about trusting the Lord and essentially the implications not relying on Him to be our sole Guide but reducing Him to another piece of Equipment for the journey. He's not just the first aid kit or compass or even the route.. He's our Guide and as such He promises to never fail us, lose us or leave us! When we fail to trust Him as anything short of our Guide who knows the way, knows us and is committed to us- we fail to worship in Spirit and Truth, we fail to Trust the Most Trustworthy and reduce the Creator and Sustainer of the universe to a map or good backpack.
I don't know about you but the inches between my head and my heart seems a lot further of a difference web knowledge, such as this call to complete trust in Christ, is looking for feet to put it to action.
A simple thought or feeling such as this evening's pity party is only a litmus of the depravity of my heart that God desires to renew.
This is the time to take captive these thoughts and lay myself down once more as a sacrifice for the glory of God. And though I don't feel assured of it- I know it to be absolutely true- that in this living my joy is full, in THIS living God's name is made great.
Funny the things you can see full circle in the course of only a day.
