The Bible speaks often about two different realms, asserting that there is more going on than meets the eye. In Biblical terms, these realms are two different kingdoms: one earthly and one heavenly; one natural and one supernatural.
Sometimes we get sucked down into discouragement because we simply cannot manage to lift our eyes see anything other than the problem or challenge in front of us. Have you ever felt like this? Stuck? How about stuck and nervous?
I’ve been known to spend time there.
On paper the first full week of February looked very busy. My calendar held a number of meetings and appointments plus two day-long commitments bookending the week.
Some weeks are just filled to the brim. I’m sure you know that feeling where there is more “to do” than there feels there is time, where there are so many plates spinning it is hard to remember which one needs attention next.
I have long loved Ephesians 2:10: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them” (NASB).
