Let Me Set The Pace
Movement.
This is something in this season I need emotionally and spiritually.
Constant movement.
The other week I started to implement movement more into my daily life.
3 runs training for a half marathon, 3 days of basketball, 2 days of frisbee, on top of other activities all in the same week. Some of these activities I would do in the same day.
After throwing the frisbee around one day that week, my friend pointed out that I was overdoing it and at that rate I would run myself into an injury.
She was right.
I was overdoing it.
We started talking about my motives of why I was pushing myself so hard.
Unhealthy roots came up.
Perfect.
“Why don’t you ask the Lord what you need in your life spiritually and implement it in your life physically,” asked my friend (or something to that extent).
I was confused by that, because I thought I was.
I needed movement, but I was doing something wrong.
A few days later I was talking to the Lord about what he wants to me to do physically, and how it was suppose to look.
“Let me set the pace, Sara.”
This made me look back at the past week. I wanted movement so bad that I was sprinting past the Lord’s pace because I want to be out of the season I am in. But the thing is the Lord is setting a pace for a reason. He is strategic. If I continued to “run” at the pace I was going I would be too exhausted for what else was coming my way. He wants me to “run” this thing well.
So I have let Him set the pace.
Movement has looked different at His pace. Less running hard, and more walking. It’s not at the pace I would like, but I am moving forward. Moving towards what the Lord wants for me. Less exhausted. Not as fatigued. More energized. Able to focus on the Lord. “Running” at His pace.
