The treadmill of life

 

The treadmill of life

 

We say elderly people are filled with wisdom, in reality; they have stopped attempting to conform to the forever changing standards of the world, our society. They have stepped off the treadmill and begun walking at their own pace. No one can stay on the treadmill forever. Eventually you will have to get off. At that point, you will have come to the stark realization that you just can't keep up. You've grown tired, weary of the pace and start to become philosophical about life and its meaning. For those of us on this treadmill that sounds quite refreshing for you see we all desire to be off the treadmill. Is it just because we fear what it will be like once we get off that causes us to stay on. The Lord asks us to trust Him, have faith in Him, don't deny Him. When we do this, we will be able to step off the treadmill with our feet planted firmly on the rock of our salvation – Jesus Christ. So we have learned that our insecurities have grown out of our desire to serve the world, not our Lord. That when we attempt to serve the world, we end up in a game of give and take which leads to misery and pain. That we need to have faith and put our trust in the Lord for our joy and salvation. Thank you, Lord for this time and inspiration – praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. May the guidance of the Holy Spirit bring within me a desire to love and serve, unconditionally without expectation of receiving anything in return. I give you the honor, the glory and I humble myself before you.
