Spiritual Surrender; resting your oars.

Drifting is not always bad. You can rest while you drift. Your muscles can recharge. A friendly breeze can cool the sweat in your shirt.

Drifting results when you surrender direction. No matter how hard you row, the tide still seems against you. At the point of spiritual surrender you yield your course to the unseen current pulsing beneath the water's surface.

Drifting needn't imply that you are straying off course. Drifting can mean that you are surrendering to an unseen force.

Where are you struggling agaisnt the tide? Arms can fatigue and get cramps. Where is your soul cramping? Maybe God is trying to change your direction. Maybe He wants you to give up? Maybe you're fighting against a "teacher" sent from God with a life lesson? Sometimes, God asks you to change a situation. Sometimes, God commissions a situations to change you.

Today, rest your oars. Enjoy the breeze. Recharge. Drift a little. Pray and reflect.

"The King's heart is in the hand of the Lord. He directs it like a watercourse whevever He pleases." Proverbs 21:1
