There are times that we must just plod. Just get up and put one foot in front of the other and keep moving. We must keep an eye to the future, can't let those new frontiers be forgotten, but just staying "even" is sometimes the greatest forward move you can make. Those of us who are type "A" personalities are just going to struggle with that whole idea. I think those of us who are not type "A" also have trouble with it at times as well.
If you are going through a difficult time and in one way or another who isn't, it is tough to just keep plodding along. Even though you know what the goal is and your eye may be on the prize and you have all kinds of energy, sometimes it is just keep yourself "even".
God knew I would have trouble with this. He knew because He made me the way I am. He knew I would be an aggressive leader. He knew I would always want to "Charge". So he had one of His friends and mine write me a little note. His name was David and here is what he said:
Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength,an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
8 Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields with fire.
10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
11 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
