Wired Up


Staying tuned in to the tension of the moment can be a challenging and a humbling experience. I recently read that we tend to rush the tension of the moment in the haste to calm down or resolve an assumed conflict.  That seems natural, doesn’t it? No one likes tension. So the natural tendency is to rush through it to get to the other side. However, should we really focus on the other side or should we focus on the tension itself?  I am coming to a place where I can see that the process is so important to my personal growth.  That means tension is good.  It’s the place where I go to God for grace, direction and wisdom.  It’s the place where I see God at work.  Why do I get anxious about it? My goal? I’m not going to question the process or the tension. I’m going to embrace it. 


If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.  Galatians 5:25
