SAGGING DAZE

When the heart is a blend of thoughts and confusion from unclear vision it bleeds the essence in so many ways. Not only do we feel the weight from such a burden, which brings fatigue on so many levels, but it also weighs down the soul too.

In the process under such a weight it is hard for the mind to always focus on what is the right choice. Through one's life of faith the added dimension involves the need for spiritual eyes that look to heaven for an adequate guidance in whatever maze inhabits our reality.

But the Lord for many reasons may not shine upon our ponderings with an immediate or clear answer. He may restrain his reply as part of the challenge of our obedience and faith.

Thus is the struggle we often face on many levels. Is there a place of only light without any shadows where we can feel the pure refreshment? In reality with the Lord the answer is most honestly both yes and know. It resides in Heaven for certain. There we shall only know light for truth shines from the Lord.

However, in this life there are the shadows and they do creep into our essence in so many ways. Darkness consumes if left without any guiding to help us sustain our essence to any real degree of aid.

Once upon a moment, ever clinging to a heartbeat we become a vessel chosen to trust and be set apart from the race of greed. So in this season that the Lord captures in our being and guides we can plot along, but not always with the joy of knowing that even if we can't see passed the horizon of our own limitations, God is there.

Knowing that doesn't mean we will always understand on know everything when we think it is our right to know. And along the way it is easy to become weary. I think the Apostle Paul in part might have been thinking of that problem when he mentioned that we would reap in due season. In addition I feel he also might have been thinking of this when he spoke of not growing weary in well doing.

I don't see anything in scripture to suggest that God will spare us from the times of sagging daze. What he does do is equip us for such times.

It doesn't mean that we will always be looked upon by others as successful or victorious in the process. Merely that God will empower us with enough of what we need to complete a given journey.

To the outside world that might not be all that apparent. For one might still be regarded as being other than successful or blessed when following such course.

The abiding hope resides in the awareness that God is able to see us through any moment and any challenge. But we have to be prepared to let it be by his hand and according to his will.
