Steady Eddy
Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].
1 CORINTHIANS 15:58 AMP
Steadfast and immovable, now what does that look like? For me it is run to the Lord, first, not to others for a solution. Today I had to confront hard business attitudes and being a feeling female, it hurt, a lot. So, I got out my colour pencil and brought my emotions to heel whilst I prayed for help. It worked!
Saturday I had a similar problem and I tried the human angle first, not as good. Whilst it is good to have loving friends and family, God is best at healing the emotional wounds. Humans are just not equipped to help a hurting heart, not to the depth we need healing first, maybe later. Humans struggle in knowing what to say and do, God doesn't. Amen!
So, just as a sick eagle has to stand still, up high on a crag, and pull all its feathers out as it faces the sun, so do I. Feathers represent cover-up for me. Bare skin means, all out, ugly and all. My God copes with this, very well. He heals very well and totally well, all the way down into the core, alllll well!!! Amen!
