A SOAR INTO

A sense of flight for the soul is a rise above the muck and mire of life. To be aloft in one's mood where there is some degree of peace in the process.

It does elude when the times are such that this is not a source of true discovery. If we purge ourselves of cares, but don't really learn in the process that can be such a disappointment.

But if we are feeling good, we might not notice at the time. And that is when we have a problem.

Because those sails of the spirit should inspire faith. They should make one feel closer to the Lord.

If they do not, then we lose the intended meaning. Which is inspiration instead of something else.

It is good to soar and feel the serenity and peace it inspires. But if we lose sight of God in the process it does not end up a benefit.

Mainly if all we seek is the pure emotional rush and not the truth then we really may come away feeling better, but we didn't learn what God seeks for us. That is the sad part.

Likewise if one sees the clouds and thinks only of storms our expectations can be skewed in the other direction. Neither view being truly balanced.

And neither will result in our actually discovering what is the true spiritual gold, which will truly bless. It is not about the trip, it is about see the Lord more clearly.

But how often we trade the long term for short term benefits. Those feel so good in terms of euphoria.

Still if all we end up doing is craving more euphoria then we miss out on its impact in terms of faith. Which is to make it more real.

It one tastes of heaven and only love the sugar without really appreciating the nutritional values, then it is incorrectly focused. An avenue of change that will not lead towards the light.

Thus is true of those who seek the dazzle of miracle. Oh they are entrance by the supernatural, but it is a looky-loo view.

Not the kind the leads to one truly letting one's soul ride to the place God would chose. Where we see Him and sense His glory.

This has happen so many times among those who trust God. So easy to stumble, but at least God will be there to help pick us up.
