It is good to come to the end of a thing...something you have desired and want to see completed...yet, anything worthwhile takes some labor and time.
Details and repetition cannot be avoided in daily life, nor, I have found, in crocheting lovely lacey Pineapple Doilies... :)
If I don't pick up crochet hook, and thread and pattern, but rather sit and curse the doily...that it is not done...it will never be finished. So it is with life...the things we curse don't change (except for the worse). What are we subconsciously "cursing" today? Perhaps we could find the courage to "pick up the hook and thread" again, and by the Spirit of God and His Word allow good change to come through the meditations of our heart and the words of our mouth today.
Whether we use our hands to craft something beautiful or we use our faith to change something negative...there is a labor for us to do...
I am making progress on the doily for the bed table of a family member, enjoying every stitch as I think of the end result...
So it is with waiting for change in our lives, we wait rejoicing and in faith (laboring with the Living Word), knowing that we are laboring each day for a good result.
When things we don't like seem to persist in our lives, we find comfort in the book of Zechariah 4:6 "So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts.
It is not in our strength that change comes, but by knowledge of the Word of God, and faith through His Son Jesus, that we are able to receive the life changing power of the Holy Spirit upon us and those we love...and in our communities.
We labor WITH the Word of God, the changes comes by His Spirit of Truth, Love, and Life upon that Word that is in our hearts and mouthes!
Be blessed this Monday, in the work of your hands, and the meditations of God's Word in your heart and in your mouth.
