Press on

I think often about the hardships of this life, the woes of this body, and worries of finance. I think I feel better now, without a "job" then I did when I was striving to get ahead, whatever that means. I mean, I worry about what we will eat, and how we are going to pay rent, but I am working toward the goal now, that I should have always been working toward, and that is, a home not made with hands, and a life that reflects my Lord while I am here. I still see areas where we could streamline somethings in our life, and get by on less, but more than that, what I really see is how sinful I am, and my need for repentance, in my life. I am not saying we should all quit our jobs, but in this season I have greater time reflect on my wickedness. It is hard to go from Lost, to saved, to comfortable, to convicted, to repentant, to striving for a holier life, I must say I have seen guys try it, and they looked like they were being legalistic, and I do not want that, and I know we must fellowship. I would love to live in a cave, but that is not what we are told to do. We are to be a light, and to be salt. I must pray that, by the Holy Spirit, I may walk in a way worthy of our King, and battle against the sin that rages within, and urging those that we fellowship with to do the same. No time for rest on this front, no time at all. Sin is ever present in this weak vessel of flesh.
