Stay the Course
I love getting up early and taking a run. On this particular morning, the temperature was going to get to 105 degrees, so I was out early. I had plan to do a four to five mile run, but about two and half miles in the Holy Spirit said,”Stop at that Starbucks and get a drink and walk the rest of the way home.” My first thought was, “No, I want to finish this run.” I wanted to finish what I had planned. But because of past lessons, I stopped at the coffee shop and I purchased the drink and started the walk. As I started walking I could not believe how wonderful it felt. There was a light breeze and everything just felt wonderful! I was like God this is such a perfect gift. Thank you!
While waking the Holy Spirit said, “There are times on this journey that you will be running and that is necessary. But there will be times that you will be walking just like this. Do not be discouraged because you are walking and things seem to be going slow. You are still on the right path and as long as you keep going, you will reach the intended destination.” It was such an encouraging message because at times when things do not feel like they are moving, or it looks like you are going backwards we can feel discouraged and just want to quit.
It reminded me of my sister-in-law who has been going through her journey to healing from cancer. One day she told me that she was tired of her body being tired. She said all she does is rest and she does not have the energy to do anything else. I told her if her body wants rest then that is what she has to give it. That is the season that she is in. Her body is still healing, but it’s just not moving like she would like it to. God is reminding us that no matter what our season feels like, or looks like, as long as we are moving with him we are in the right place!
