Questioning Thoughts

I am sometimes overwhelmed in situations where I cannot trust my own feelings. How to find the mind of Christ? Practicing the Holy Spirit 24/7 can be a challenge ....listening for that still small voice and trying to follow after peace. The sensory overload of everyday life tries to crowd in, making it difficult to engage the spirit man. Nevertheless we are commanded to be led by the Spirit. So many times we want to ask "where" before we agree to be led. Why does the flesh war against the Spirit? I know the answer to that! It is just important to acknowledge the struggle. These are my thoughts this morning at 6:30 a.m. and I am sure the day will unfold in much the same fashion. This is the surety: God is faithful, I am not always; I am weak, HE is strong....and HIS ways are above finding out, so, cancel the "whys and wheres". We are in the San Joaquin Valley visiting my Dad for a couple of days and then slowly heading home to Oregon. The weather here has cooled off about 10 degrees and we are grateful. We left Arizona yesterday morning about 3:30 a.m. to try to beat the heat and ended up having to put on wind breakers because we got a little chilly. It was wonderful! One day at a time, the scripture says each day has enough troubles of it's own, so we get to cast all our cares on him and press on. Love to all those who call me Nona. May God abundantly enrich your life today.
