I think I've hit the proverbial "wall" .... I have just spent the past week knitting 208 yards of WRONG! Row after row, knowing that it's not right, but hoping that if i just kept knitting it would somehow "right" itself...
It didn't!
Now, it's one thing to rip out a row or two ... Or 12... but 208 yards! Yep.. An entire skein's worth! And must now confess that i'm fighting the urge to throw in the towel ... Oh wait - i'm trying to KNIT the towel!
Guess i'm not a very good knitter!
Why even try!
Such a waste .. Does it even matter?
Maybe nobody will even notice....
Ever have those days/weeks/seasons where Satan fills your heart and mind with lies .... Falsehoods that have no credence or credibility... Fear that grips ... Derails ... Renders you ineffective ... Which is just exactly where Satan wants you...
BUT
God has much bigger plans...
Fear?
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real
Using that as a filter i can now weigh each thought, each doubt, any question .... To determine His good and perfect will. No need to keep knitting 208 yards trying-hoping-wishing-wondering if this truly IS right or wrong. No need to hide . . . Or quit, despite what i'm feeling ... Or whine ... Or pout ...
Time to cling.....
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
Claim it... And just keep knitting!
