Job 31 & 32; Galatians 5 & 6

It's a really foggy day....where you can barely see your hand in front of your face, let alone the car without their lights on right in front of you....the kind of day where all you can do is slow down and look at the side of the road...right in front of you and keep moving....
I feel like maybe today is going to be one of those days PERIOD....where I will have to focus on what I KNOW...choose to remember what I believe and just keep moving, walking even trudging forward......perhaps slowly or slower than usual and yet to stop....would possibly endanger someone else...

Galatians 5: 5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

Galatians 5: 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Galatians 6: 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

So... there are the words I am going to try and ponder in the fog today….following perhaps slowly but following in the FREEDOM I KNOW is mine….no matter what is seen……..

Galatians is such a message of freedom..freedom we dare not even imagine...yet at times we doubt it and fumble in the fog to find what seemed so clear even yesterday...yet once the elixir of freedom has been tasted...it stays with us forever...never quite going away ever again....even keeping us trudging along in darkness if necessary....

Love fog analogies of any type because I feel like I live in fog sometimes.

Was just at Larry's blog - that was a great comment you left :) Short and to the point.
