Growth Spurt
July 18 2005
Over the last several months, I've been experiencing spiritual growth like I haven't seen since my junior high years. I'm feeling the heat of a fire that has burned ever so lightly for several years now. That fire is starting to roar. However, the journey to perfect communion with the Saviour is filled with many distractions and pitfalls.
I can directly link this increasing fervor with two things. One, the ending of an impeding relationship and two, my move from Cookeville back to Murfreesboro. Christ has been able to take first place in my life and I've been able to plug in.
The Way is not easy. But the King makes it bearable. One of my favorite passages of scripture is Psalm 139. The encouragement is magnificent. From verses 7 and 8:: Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
What an amazing encouragement for those in Him! From our best days to our worst days, He is always available. He will always lead us and hold us. Incredible!
