I find it hard to sleep and yet staying awake seems much more difficult!
Time would fail me to mention the many days I woke up without a clue of how the day would end: too much on my plate but almost no drive to do them all.
Many times, I see the many possibilities that await me if I don't carry out the tasks I am meant to do now and most of the time they never seem pleasant. This is not a case of me wanting to give up and throw in the towel, but it is the desire of a person whose heart cries out to the time to stand still: just so I can take a breather. But time of course due to its nature gives no ears to my wish but continues to smoothly go on.
Someone once said, “Don't watch the clock do what it does. Keep going”. This has to be my daily 'word-anchor': to keep moving, to stay working and walking, even with the many blisters on my feet. Rather than give in, rather than stop, I willwalk on with a limp.
So, all I can do is hold on. I will keep on holding on even if thats all I can do for now.
“for when I am weak, then am I strong.” [2 Corinthians 12:10KJV]
“Finally it dawned on me that grace is God’s language; he doesn’t speak “thorn-langauge”! He said to me, “My grace elevates you, to be fully content.” And now, instead of being overwhelmed with a sense of my own weakness, he overwhelms me with an awareness of his strength! Oh what bliss to rejoice in the fact that in the midst of my frailties I encounter the dynamic of the grace of God to be my habitation!”
[2 Corinthians 12:9 The mirror bible]
So, though the fig tree may not blossom, I will keep my gaze on his strength till it swallows my every weakness. My strength comes from the Lord.
Finally friends, the Lord is our shepherd. Though we walk through the valley of the shadows of death, we fear no evil.
GO ACHIEVE
