My Navigator is asleep
Have you ever felt like God was asleep or simply not interested in your circumstance. I have many times and it seems like he teaches me the same lesson over and over. A lesson that some days I seem to understand firmly and at other times I easily forget. Am I alone in this?
I feel like transitioning into this month, I have been a valley of dry bones and I'm pleading with The Lord to breath life into them. I just feel spiritually dead!!! All i know to do in this time is bow my head, raise my hands, and cry my heart out to christ. I believe the reason why i am feeling this way is a result of too much doing and not enough being still. Believe it or not that's an opportune time for the enemy. I believe we the body of christ are an industrious people, we serve, we meet the needs of others, no question about it, but we cant forget the importance of sitting before the feet of Christ as Mary did, the one who did the better thing. At the end of the day their is balance. Some people do do do and never sit while others sit sit sit and never do.
I feel imbalanced is what I am saying and because of this I am dry and I feel like the disciples crying out lord don't you care that we are perishing in the midst of this storm (Mark 4). I feel like saying don't you care lord?
But the lord in his gentle love is saying "where is your faith my child?" Have you forgotten my countless wonderful deeds? Have you not remembered who I am? Don't you see son that a greater storm is coming, a real cosmic storm. A storm of gods wrath, a storm of eternal judgment and I your navigator bowed my head and took on that storm for you that you may not perish, and i went with no navigator because my father abandoned me. I didn't abandon you to that storm, instead i took your place. So hear me when i say neither will I abandon you to this storm. My son what do I own, what do I posses, what is mine that does not have life? There are no dry bones in you because I live, and my spirit dwells in you. Do you believe you are mine Richard? If so go and live?
Find rest in Christ!
