Keep On Keeping On

Keep on, Keeping on

I’ve been struggling to write lately.  I have an abundance of ideas, but they’re only half baked… and so I haven’t pursued them.  I feel stagnant.  And worse yet, I feel that I’m shirking my responsibilities and so I walk around with a weight on my shoulders.  But still nothing comes. No words. No grand endings to my ideas.  Just a nagging sense that I’m not doing what I’m supposed to be doing.

Do you ever feel that way in life?  Perhaps you’re uncertain about what direction God is leading you.  Or, maybe you’ve been waiting for what seems like an eternity for God to answer you. You might even find yourself questioning what’s next in life.  I’ve experienced these scenarios (and many more) a variety of times throughout my journey with the Lord.  Times when I felt like I’m suspended mid-air and looking for a place to land. 

And just today, I’m reminded that when I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be doing next, I should go back and make sure that I’m doing (or have done) the last thing that God called me to do.  God will make it clear what’s next, when it’s time for me to know. 

So, I find myself needing to put one foot in front of the other (or in my case right now – type one word at a time) until it comes.  I will keep doing what God has called me to do, until He shows me what’s next.  I’m choosing not to give up.  I’m choosing to keep going even when it requires a little more effort than before.  I choosing to believe that God is big enough and supply all my needs at just the right time. 

I pray that you too, will keep living for the Lord – whatever He has called you to do – and not give up until He points you in another direction.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
