"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously without reproach, and it will be given to Him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind." James 1:5-6
Washing in, washing out. Emotions rise, emotions fall. I sense the surge of my will. Not my will but yours be done, Lord. Wash me and make me white as snow. I see this battle over sea of life. I crave the peace that stills. I must still to have this peace. I feel the surge of rush. Anxiety overshadowing trust. I hear the call of false duty that shouts in my mind, "hurry!"
Everywhere I look.....stress. Like a wayward vine it overtakes hearts and minds. This world will come to an end. We feel the nearness of it's time. We feel the panic down deep that something must be done. We look to the one who sets the sun. Who moves time. He holds it all. We rejoice. It will as he said. I fall sad over those who will not choose him.
I pray for a harnessed leading today. Like a well trained horse, I lift my head to the one who leads me. I place the bit over my tongue and I look to him for his direction. All day long the spirit tugs here and there. I will go, I will say, I will do. I am filled with joy in sharing labor with my Master. I see the works he has laid out and we walk, trot, work, as one to accomplish much. I am thankful.
