"i invite YOU in": MENTAL WAIT-TRAINING

My eyes are running heavy, but that’s ok as long as the mind isn’t running heavy.  And the mind can carry such a wild load of items. From past, present, and future, the minds workload can carry weights never intended to be weighed by the brain. We think about matters of the past that we cannot change. We dwell upon moments of the present that make us deranged. We imagine memories of the future that are not yet arranged.  And every train of thought crashes upon our soul without a battle fought.The vacillating mind takes us into every place except the present day and time. We surrender so easily to such thoughtless thoughts. We lie down and take the taxation of the mind without considering the costs.It’s just the way we are bent. It’s our hardwiring and it can make us feel like we are carrying around mental cement.But that’s not what God desires for us. That’s not the heaviness that God supplies for us. His heaviness comes in the weightlifter of peace. It’s so heavy it holds you down, not only in heart and mind, but even at the feet. His presence is what makes us stable. His thoughts upon our mind are what make us able. “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You” (Isaiah 26:3); which means to be so heavily focused on God that His “wait” is the return that falls upon you.I crave Gods peace. I’m a slave to His “wait-training” and altogether free when following His lead.  “Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD” (Psalm 27:14).  While waiting—through this writing—I feel a load being lifted and heaviness being shifted.  Bad weight melts away when we wait on the Lords way. And though my eyes may still be running heavy, my mind has found its spotter and His lift is always steady. “Then the Spirit lifted me up….” (Ezekiel 3:12).
