p r a c t i c a l i t y and s p i r i t u a l i t y

we've seen the power in the older generations
we've heard the wisdom of the wise

we've encountered the opposition saying that truth is relevant
and if we don't believe, we're not spiritual

i've watch as christians pray for the Lord to interviene
and then refuse the help that's sent

i've stood in the shoes of the one waiting for the Lord to provide
::full of faith, not of commonsense

we've somehow become confused into thinking that
p r a c t i c a l i t y and s p i r i t u a l i t y have no place in the same life

what about: the Lord will bless the work of your hands
or how about: the Lord will bless the fruit of your labor

that are your hands doing that the Lord can bless

christanity is not a free pass to an easy life.

the Lord didn't promise to spare one from any trials in life.

Jesus came and walked among us. Fully God and fully man. Its a point that confuses many. How can one be fully two things. We enjoy compmentalizing life and quite frankly, this issue of being fully two completely opposite things just doesn't fit.

What if the point isn't that two opposite things reside in one being, or which Jesus was acting out of as He preformed miracles and set people free, but rather that these two things can each be a part of our life. Its great to trust that the Lord will provide or that the Lord will make a way where there seems to be no way. However when that way is made known, we would be wise to heed its promptings. That may mean filling out a job application, or having a conversation thats out of your comfort zone. When the Lord leads, He's right in front of you.

Spiritual faith is a great asset, but uncoupled with grounded wisdom can be harmful..as harmful I suspect as grounded wisdom without spiritual faith.
