If you read stories of spiritual discovery you see the same scene again and a again, someone is travelling for something, looking for something, for direction for their life, you must take your own journey seriously.
Traveller, There is no road, there is only walking, you’ve got to start walking.
I was as I often do after work these days, walking home around the lake; I remember right where I was when these thoughts pierced my heart. “Remember all those prayers, petitions, heart cries to me about wanting my help to loose weight”, to which I immediately said, yes! It was as if the Lord was saying, “Well”?!
Funny thing was, without it being my first intention for loosing weight, walking and being in a place whereby I could nurture my soul was my longing; my excessive walking was producing wonderful side benefits of just that, loosing weight.
No one had to tell me about the dangers of being over weight and any number of potential debilitating issues resulting from it; I would simply turn a blind ear and deaf eye to it and just proceed on with living.
I see much of living as a follower of Christ being really so simple, learning to follow through, or, walking and working out what He has already worked into us.
In James 4:17 it says; “Well, remember that if a man knows what is right and fails to do it, his failure is a real sin.”
My learning to follow through on just about anything these days has nothing to do with control, or trying to please God, in fact, I see it more like this; I am learning to cooperate with the flow of life that is in me as me.
