on the spiritual life...


"I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air."
1 Cor. 9:26

I very much like these images. How often does life feel this way? How often does prayer, worship, attempts to trust, feel this way. I like the image of someone beating air with all the intensity of a fighter. So futile and so zealous.

So that's my prayer this morning: a finish line in sight (or at least a mile marker) and something solid to punch against. Not the most peaceful of metaphors. But still helpful.
