Have you ever felt you just weren't not in the mood or to scared to have a spiritual conversation. Sometimes we all feel this way. That is why God's strategy has us go 2 by 2. Sometimes your partner will be strong sometimes you will. Sometimes you'll want to quit but they will want to keep going, the end result is a more fruitful harvest. Want an illustration I won't soon forget?
There we were standing on cement stairs. When my friend said, "I didn't speak much today Ive been low this week." I answered, "You were strong last week when I didn't want to speak. When Your week I'm strong and when Im week..." The cement step were I was standing gave way and I started to fall backwards to a 6 foot drop below. All my weight was going backwards so there was no hope of pulling my body up, gravity was already pulling me down. I only desperately look up into the eyes of my partner and hoped he would grap my reaching hand. He did and I was saved. If he was not there I would have fallen. Thus God illustrated to us this point. God's strategies are always best!
Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labour.For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow -- Ecclesiates 4:10

ReplyDeleteHey .. I posted a comment and it disappeared! What happened. :)
ReplyDeleteWell... what I was going to say was short and sweet. Just that this posting is very insightful for me. I have had similar experiences and feelings but have not thought of those situations in the context you described above....
ReplyDeleteTo trust in God's strategy and to remember that his strategy has a purpose!!! I think it is a very wonderful way to think of those times when I feel down or want to quit. Thanks for sharing!
Hey D;
ReplyDeleteYour dear basketball playing Canadian friend here. When you had this great emphasis on going out 2 by 2, I never knew it meant that you were only ever going to make four blog posts. You've sent out the 2 and the 2 . . . maybe now it's time for the 72?
How are you doing?
Drop me line bro,
