Labor Day weekend, I suppose it could not be more appropriate because I am laboring big time!
Do you ever find yourself under a load that you never expected to be carrying? You’re not sure how it got as big or as heavy as it did, but somehow without your knowing it, that load has become of unusual proportion.
For me, that happens in my mind. It begins to look like my desk after a while. A pile here, a pile there. Then, when there is no more room, I set stuff on the floor, then a table, then the credenza, then….before you know it, material is everywhere. I want it compartmentalized, but my mind won’t always accommodate. I want it categorized, but my mind won’t always label things correctly, I want it neatly organized, but my mind doesn’t recognize that concept! So, before long, the self induced chaos becomes such that it weighs me down and causes me to wonder, like I am now, how did it all get this way and how do I fix it?
I’m not certain how it all got that way, but I have a pretty good idea how to fix it…
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body.”
Proverbs 3:5-8
Father God, it’s been a hard couple of days. My head can’t seem to catch up with my heart at times. Nevertheless, in my prayers last night you showed me some things that gave me renewed peace and assurance. Let me use that understanding to stand under your grace and love with renewed vigor, trusting you in ALL my ways. I love you LORD.
