Ever have one of those days when you're tired of trying to think wonderful and deep thoughts, when life seems to drag just a bit, and you wonder if you're up to the continual challenge of being true to yourself? During such times, one wants to find a hideaway to mope and feel sorry for oneself, when a safe spot becomes more desirable than a honest one. The storms of life batter and discourage, and its normal to wonder if it all will someday fall into place. Perhaps it never will. And as much as one glories in being a pilgrim, the pilgrim's life can get down right lonely at times.
I suppose we all go through the above emotions. Life isn't a planned, straight road for most of us. Going it alone can be difficult, even for those of us who are used to it.
Then it is good to hunker down in that soul-room of our heart and just let life be. Because if past experience teaches us anything, it is the truth that God takes care of us, in God's time and in God's own way.
So hunker down and enjoy the simple things of life: the sun, the birds, the budding trees. There is a time to let go of bigger issues, and wait on God for strength, hope and courage. There is a time to forget about the bigger issues of life, and just be.
