Blameless toward him...

The Lord is true. The Lord does not mistreat people. He gives what they deserve. He does what is right. He is the almighty creator and judge of all. 

2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.

But what is judgement? Is judgement distributed in this life? Is it postponed until the great judgement? I look at my life and see good, bad, and ugly. Which parts of my life are the result of faithfulness? Which parts are the result of disobedience? Is that question even relevant? 

I know one thing. You reap what you sow. You sow good things and you will reap good things. You sow evil and you will reap evil. Reaping and sowing is a wonderful principle of life,. This principle, however does not answer all questions of failure and victory. Sometimes you go out to pursue the will of the Lord and you fail. Sometimes you succeed. 

I did my best but failed. I tried and tried and tried but I did not experience the fruit necessary to continue on. We stand in the dust. We nurse our wounds. We know the Lord is God. We know he loves us. We know he has something for us. We just don't know what it is.

Our journey is stalled. We are refueling...healing...seeking guidance for our next step. What is it? What am I made for? How will I contribute?  I am torn between exhaustion and excitement. 

I carry a wound with me that will always be here. The scar will be here. The memory. The lost friendships. The wisdom will guide wherever I end up. 

I heard it said recently that success means standing on a pile of failure. Well I am climbing the pile. I will not give up the climb no matter how many times I lose my grip and fall down. I will find a way up. 

In the end faithfulness is the key. The Lord has given me a way to live wherever I am. This is my wheelhouse. Following the Lord intimately is the key. May I always follow him step in step.
