FLOW BUT DON'T BLOW


Dear One,
When you hear the saying, "Go with the flow," always mentally add, "and don't blow." I mean that you must not let your emotions get the best of you so that you lose your head and blow your stack. Volcanoes destroy everything surrounding them with their hot molten lava. Blowing your stack can do the same thing. It's bad for your heart, bad for your relationships, bad for your thought processes and bad for the spiritual climate around you.
Going with the flow is riding the waves of adversity with faith and trust, knowing that I will make the best of every situation and even make the worst of situations work for you.
Every adversity is only temporary, and a change for the good will come soon when you are walking in the Spirit and praying in the Spirit. Don't delay the perfect solution by blowing your top and going against the flow. It is exhausting and defeating to succumb to stress in such a way that you blow your top.
Remember that salmon die after swimming upstream, against the tide, and laying their eggs. Exhaustion bring death to them. Do not put yourself in reverse gear and go against the flow, blowing your top, injuring your loved one, and then carrying the burden of guilt. Make every situation work for you instead of against you. That is done by switching into faith and trust and going with the flow. Then you are of a mind that I can counsel you about the situation.
Love, God
Matthew 7:12; II Timothy 2:24-26; Romans 2:6-10
