The Floor
I have spent my entire walk with Christ trying not to fear man, trying not to stranglehold grace, trying not to predict mercy, trying not to look too far into the future.
Trying, trying, trying.
How many times has the Lord told me to cease striving?
THE FLOOR
The Chest | October 30, 2026
Dedicated to Kitty Kat, with love, from the floor.
How many times has the Lord told me to cease striving? How many times has the Lord used me to tell other people to cease striving? And yet, here I am, still striving for these filthy rags.
The more time I spend in the Word of God, the more I understand that it is a manual for how to live. Old Testament. New Testament.
Jesus is the thread that runs through from beginning to end.
There was always a plan. There was always a way.
You can’t read Moses’s song and not see that God knew from the beginning how it was all gonna go down.
Jesus’ grace and mercy are the thread that leads us in this life. He’s before us and behind us. It’s an inside job.
Sometimes it’s messy.
A man after God’s own heart is a man who continues to try, because the righteous will fall down seven times and get up 400 billion times.
Remaining is the new beginning.
“Remain in me, as I also remain in you.”
John 15:4 (NIV)
Jesus promises to stay with His family and never leave or forsake us.
Forgiveness from Him will wash over you, and you will be able to forgive yourself.
You are living in an economy of plenty. This is the Lord’s time, and He has plenty.
DO NOT FEAR. CEASE STRIVING, BUT DON’T STOP GETTING UP.
Psalm 46:10 • Isaiah 64:6 • Deuteronomy 31:16–22 • Proverbs 24:16 • John 15:4 • Hebrews 13:5
