Would be to God, from the first glimmers of first light, we are instantly met with this very thing, thank you QB! To put on and mold the usual, or decide to put on Christ with what I call, the
Granddaddy of Search-engines.
Because faith refuses to cave to anything less. If we currently are standing in a state of less or usual, what do I have to show for it? Life, the life of Christ’s Spirit who slowly begins to reveal himself “openly”, isn't that what we would otherwise choose? Since He is “the God of the living”, that heaviness of chore will begin to lift if we ask. If we “have not because we ask not” nor receive answer because of some distant yet consuming “lust”, then there is your first item for the altar. And it is never, never, never too late to start.
I don’t know, has it been said elsewhere; that we crawl before we walk, and walk before we kneel, and kneel before we cry, “ABBA, Father” (Galatians 4:6, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15)!
Stay with it, one day you’ll be delighted to find He was watching and waiting all the time. That true “sup with him” (Rev 3:20) that will last through the storms is just as He promised.
God bless you from that child of God to His own warrior!
