No, I am not skitzo, at least no more than usual; to come from restful steps to energized steps was easy; because I rested in Him I can then: woo-hoo walk with that extra zing. Actually I’ve found that when I am around certain individuals I tend to be energized. Ever notice that in your own life? There are people who tend to suck all the life from you and then there are people who tend to pull life to the surface from the depth of your heart and you find yourself reveling in life, sharing it easily but in the sharing you find you are being synergized (experiencing an increased flow of energy). Take Bill and Aaron, they synergize me just talking to them, but we haven’t just stopped at the talking; they’ve actually had me trying out dance moves from a kids CD. Know what? I felt really good after the workout I was more than ready to go teach Wednesday’s lesson.
Why does it seem so many times we are trying to conserve energy in our lives by backing away from people or certain situations when in actuality the right people in the right place can cause it to be the right time to gain strength (be synergized). Scripture talks about bearing one another’s burden in order to fulfill the law of Christ (Gal. 6:2) yet we often run from being a listening ear, or lending a helping hand. I know it might seem that there are more people who drain you instead of synergize you so why not look at it from the other side; you be the synergizer. If you work at being able to suck the life to the surface, to encouraging someone ill they feel they can be equal to the task you might just find that you have actually been synergized yourself’; not by the person you are helping (though it could happen) but by Ruach (the Spirit) for the only way we can truly encourage, to delve into someone’s heart and bring forth the gold is through Ruach’s power. Is. 10:27 says the burden shall be taken away and the yoke destroyed because of the anointing. I know that when I feel overwhelmed, sucked dry by people or life in general, it is because I have allowed myself to feel as if it’s my burden, my responsibility to get things right instead of resting in Him and allowing that to energize my steps for it will be His strength and not mine that it takes to really accomplish anything of eternal significance. I can do a lot with the gifts He’s given me, but it is draining and leaves me feeling depleted, allowing His purposes to flow through me with Him in control, synergizes me and I find all those around me. It literally makes me want to join in the dance, to exert myself more knowing that I will not be wasted at the end but actually be ready to take on the next step.
So take a deep breath, center yourself in His love, let your heart rest in His provision, feel the energy start to flow, now let’s all dance.
