What Are You Doing?
Dear Friends,
While in the BWCA last week, I sat for this picture. Talk about a confusing look…a canoer sitting on a snowmobile. Just what is it that I’m trying to do?
The words are haunting…”Be true to thyself.” As people of the Christian faith, what signal do we give off? Do we say one thing, and do another? I must admit, I have to watch myself. I need to be honest and make time for the things that I know are spiritually good for me, or I’m looking forever like a canoer on a snowmobile. Just what in the world am I doing? Does my verbal confession of Jesus Christ as Lord of my life match the outward lifestyle that I have? Even more, is my heart in tune with my words?
In a day when it seems as if a person could be worrying about all sorts of things, does incessant worry match the call to “Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not unto thy own understanding.”? Does my spiritual life look confusing? Am I a good witness to the Power of God, and to the leadership of Jesus Christ in my life? I pray it may be so, but I must say that there are days that I fall short.
God is good…all the time. Hopefully, I get that across most of the time, and live the life to which God has called me, and not be like the picture above…confusing and leaving people wondering. Blessings to you. Stop by. The light is on. The coffee is hot. Would love to visit with you.
Your friend, Pastor Don
