Psalm 116:7
Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
I've just returned from a RR leaders training and it was inspiring and a good break away from life. But now that I'm back home, reality is setting in. I must confess that I'm not really looking forward to each day. So much incomplete work all around me, everything seems to be in a mess.
Work's got its issues which is getting me more riled up by the days. The options to move on seem available but then it's all not confirmed and I realised that I've grown to get more unnerved when circumstances around me are not in my control. Don't even get me started on Camporama stuff which seem to be going nowhere and seem to need alot more work and time, of which I seem to have none. Added to all is the key issue of having to witness people problems in church, or what would be clearer defined as problematic people. I really wish I won't be so affected by the weakness which I see in people. Oh that I pray that all would start living lives which are born out of wise decisions and Godly fear.
Frankly, Days/seasons like these I really remind myself why I don't want to live a long life and would rather pass away soon.
It all just hit me the past hour, this feeling of being depressed with the issues all about. A very dry feeling which is sapping me of life. All I wish I could do is to give up and take a long break. Yet, I know it's just a convenience called escapism. I've gone through such seasons before where I identify with David's cry "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me?"
Yet I know that times like these, no amount of words, no songs, or anything else but the Holy Spirit can carry my soul through. For there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. I shall walk these few daily steps and remember to comfort myself with the truth that the Lord has been good to me. (amen!)
My heart may not feel it yet, but with my mouth I'll confess Psalm 116:7 till I my heart follows what my mouth professes: "Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you." In the meanwhile, may the Lord protect my heart, head and senses that I would find rest and not tire myself out in wild imaginative abandon.
blessings,
M.
