As some of you know I am, by nature, a very spiritual person. I have a level of trust and understanding on how the Holy Spirit can guide us should we allow that to happen. It is part of this constant and amazing walk with Christ that I have. Even when the road is most difficult. At times it seems that road splits into many directions.
In fact when we take the time to walk with Christ. We often see two roads that we can travel at the same time. One is the reality of the world around us. Though, that can at times, lead us down some very pessimistic and negative paths. Often framed under this notion and thin veil of what we would call reality of the moment. Logic and reason shows us the direction that cannot or will not change. Drawing to a conclusion that removes any hope that things can change and move into a better direction.
The other road is what Lord will call us to follow. Allowing us to put those issues in to deep prayer. Giving us wisdom to see past the negative and to not lose hope in the face of what we see in front of us. That God could very well change the direction of things. Even if doing so defies any sense of logic that we may have. It can be a challenge to accept this. Because sometimes it seems that both roads, while moving together, can feel like they are in fact moving in opposite directions.
Sometimes traveling on these roads can lead to internal conflicts. Our human understanding is limited as to which path we will be on at any given moment. Prayer allows us to see more clearly what the Lord intents for us. We know from the history of the Church and in our own lives that God will do great things for us. If we are willing to put our trust in Him. If we are willing to not give up hope and fall prey to our own grim and pessimistic understanding of things playing out in our lives.
This life presents us with many challenges. Some stuff we simply cannot avoid. Doors will open and close all the time for us. Yet even with all we know. The worse thing that we can do is to give up hope. To develop this feeling that God cannot or will not change things for the better. Even when logic tells us such things cannot be done. To fall prey to the world that doesn’t want us to see what God is willing to do for us.
When we walk with Christ. The two roads exist. Yet though prayer and seeking the Holy Spirit we can light our lamps to see where we are going. -
