Oh the 'ole hamster wheel...
The hamster runs & runs & runs
back to the same place
every time
going everywhere
yet nowhere
gaining speed
but it is a dead end.
Have you ever felt like you were on a hamster wheel?
You try
you try again
you try again & again & again
&
always end up in the same place,
yet
you just can’t seem to get off the wheel
because
the wheel is the problem.
No matter how fast you run,
if you are on the wheel
you will end up
Weary
Anxious
Hopeless
Helpless
Impatient
&
Out of Control
because
you become
Whatever & Wherever & in Whomever
you abide.
This Jesus Thing
This Christian Walk
This Walking the Talk
is all about
Abiding~
to dwell
to remain.
What is your hamster wheel?
Where, What and to Whom
do you
Abide in
to find something more
to find something better
to find something different than what is right now~
yet keep ending up in the same place?
As
a hamster doesn’t have a choice~
because the cage is
his home
his dwelling place,
with a wheel in the center,
but
we
have a choice
to get off the wheel that keeps us caged in
when we
Seek and Find
the
One
Who
we
Abide
in
so that
we will
experience
the
Fruit
that
can
never
be
found
on
the hamster wheel.
The word for today is
Abide~
to
Abide
in the
One
Who
replenishes
the
Weary
Anxious
Hopeless
Helpless
Impatient
&
Out of Control
soul.
Walking the Talk
is
Abiding
in
Jesus~
Staying Connected to the Vine~
"Abide in Me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it
Abides in the vine,
so neither can you unless you
Abide in Me." John 15:4
Abiding in Jesus~
If I want Hope
You are there
If I want Peace
You are there
If I want Love
You are there
If I want Self Control
You are there
If I want Patience
You are there
If I want Faithfulness
You are there
If I want Goodness
You are there
If I want Kindness
You are there
If I want Gentleness
You are there.
All because
"The Fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Galatians 5:22-23
And
because
Fruit can’t produce itself,
Fruit is birthed out of
Abiding.
So let's
have a
Fruitful Day
&
Walk the Talk
by
Abiding.
