I hear the words “Be faithful.” Then I see someone swimming in an ocean. At times the current is with her and she is flying through the water. It is almost effortless, but she is still participating by going through the motions of swimming. Then other times when the current isn’t with her, she feels like she is staying in the same place or even being pushed back by the waves. In either case, she is going through the motions of swimming.
I feel like this word is to stay faithful in going through the motions of swimming when it is your season of flying through the water- acknowledging that it isn’t by your power or strength but God’s that you’re experiencing this movement. In your seasons of not making easy progress, still be faithful to do what you know to do. Progress is being made whether you feel it or not. Nothing is forever. Enjoy the leisurely times and hold tightly to faith in the hard times. Never give up.
