“Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call up Him while He is near.”
Due to recent circumstances, I have learned that calling upon the Lord is a skill in and of itself. In our moment of weakness, when our mind is filling with idea after idea on how to fix the situation, our instant reaction is to fix it in the way that is most pleasing to the flesh. After all, punching that guy in the face cause he stole my girl seems very satisfying, before you actually commit the crime. After the fact you realize how poor of a choice that really was. When we go through these trenches in our life, we need to seek God the most, if we choose against His will, the punishable ramifications will always come in one way or another. When we are in these moments it is foreign to the flesh to choose a will that is not your own. When in those dark times we have to physically force ourselves to choose Him. We will think foolish, weak, or completely illogical. But that's just the point, if it made perfect sense to the flesh then we wouldn't need to ask Him. When life is simple it's easy to choose God in the small choices you make throughout the day. I guess what I actually learned today was that choosing his will above my own is an actual tool you must sharpen. It is not something you can pick and choose as you please, for when the battle of the flesh is at hand you are entering into a war with a dull sword. You will be slaughtered.
