Heat is on

I'm a typical Englishman, I talk about the weather all the time. It hasn't rained for weeks and it's going to get extremely hot by all accounts, over 100 degrees. How that seems to me like the spiritual life quite often. You walk through difficulties, feeling like you're in the desert, then othertimes it seems all you can do is stand still. However, through it all we have to try and keep our excitement about the Lord on high, or we can faint in the face of adversity.
I'm excited about what the Lord is doing right now but trying hard not to faint, there are so many difficult areas in my life, and places where I don't seem to make any progress, mixed in with other places where I see the Lord working mightily.
One day it will all be plain, but for now, the Mystery can be mightily mysterious.
