Benched

Aching of body and mind

Endorphins blocked by “rest”

Stuck on caboose

When all are out

Active, biking, living fitness.

My own advice echoes in my head.

I would tell another

Press in and ask the One

Who allows seasons of “rest”

Seek & find what He’s after

In my heart.

I hear Him.

“Trust Me.
You can’t do this.
I have to.
So you know it’s Me
That did it.
Not you.”

“But I want to!”
I argue back.
“I know what to do!”

“I know”

He replies.

Shifting focus.

Rearrange understanding

Listen for direction

Pursue new avenues

Wouldn’t have had time.

He knows what He asks

Of me

Without Him I am

Weak, simple and worn.

Within Him I am

Victorious, fit and fully alive

Prepared to do ALL He asks of me.
