An odd train of thought today. I’m struggling to give a
situation to God. I keep picking it back up again and feeling irritated and, if
I’m honest, angry about it. So, I felt hypocritical sitting in my prayer window
this morning. I thought impatiently that I just need more of the Holy Spirit.
Come on, Holy Spirit, fill me up again, I prayed.
And then I realised that actually, there is a lot of gunk in
me blocking the flow. Hindering him getting in even; certainly impeding his
work and preventing him from initiating his joy and peace.
High cholesterol causes blockages in the blood vessels which
carry that vital life source round our body. Sometimes we have high cholesterol
because of what we eat, and if we alter our diet to minimise fats and salts and
so on, the super highway of our bodies’ life-giving bloodstream unblocks so
that nutrients and oxygen can reach every far-flung cell.
I need to feed on the fruits of the Spirit, feed on the
wholesome bread of life, and stop feeding on the regurgitated fat of rehearsed
irritations. All that is doing is creating blockages in my spiritual life.
As I head into my day, my prayer is that God will enable me
to do this, so that his Spirit can flow freely through me and I can be a
lighthouse for Jesus.
