In Sync

In Sync

And the darkness fell, the intense darkness, the cords of Sheol surrounding me, pulling me under. Sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss. Overwhelmed, darkness wrapping itself around me, and holding me tight.

Rise and shine my son, for it shall be glorious.

Micah 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O my enemy! When I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light to me.

Arise my son.

Get up my son.

Get up my precious son.

Here, take my hand.

Let’s go up higher.

Just take a breath.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Release your breath.

Take another breath.

For at each breath you will rise higher.

For I will cause you to rise.

I will keep you afloat.

For when you feel like you are sinking, just get in sync.

Matthew 11:28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

Higher and higher.

For the time of your rising is here.

It is time to stop burrowing in the depths of darkness.

For you know how I roll.

The nymph rises to a point, to make my point, creating a pinnacle in departing from its old life, as it rises to its new life.

Are you getting my point?

For you are my point!

I will make a point of your departure.

You say to me “what is the point?”

Yet in my world, the pinnacle is formed to highlight the departure from one life to another.

For you shall rise from the darkness and climb to new heights.

At the appointed time.

For the appointed time.

For the designated one.

By the designated one.

It is time to take off the old.

It is time to break out of your shell.

For that which I have deposited in you, bursts forth.

It breaks at the seams.

For that which contained you, that which defined you, lies broken before you.

I have broken that which contained you.

Not a redesign, not a new design, for this was always part of the plan.

Designated and designed to depart from the old, and embrace the new.

The same but different.

Looking the same, but so different.

The same DNA but a new creature.

Why default to the old mechanisms?

For even the legs now serve a different purpose.

For in the past, the legs served to provide forward motion, to enable motion, to enable progress.

Yet now they serve a different purpose…

To provide balance.

To provide support for landing.

To provide a means for taking off.

To enable launch and recovery.

To capture and deliver the seed.

To provide a means of retrieval and disposal.

To elevate the majesty of the glory of my wings.

Everything is the same but so different now.

Same circumstance, same vegetation, same ecosystem, yet your purpose is so different.

Release yourself from confinement, spread your wings, expand your view.

For you were designed to stand out in a crowd.

To bring presence in the place of absence.

Be clothed in my presence, for it is my present.

Abandon that sinking feeling and get in sync with me.

Micah 7:11 Oh, that will be a day! A day for rebuilding your city, a day for stretching your arms, spreading your wings!
