I'm realizing I've been trying SO hard to keep the plain level. God at one end, me at the other. Maybe that's why I'm so ridiculously tired.
Because that's not how we're really meant to live. We find rest on the ground, with God exalted at the highest point.
But we've always been taught that how to play on a seesaw is to go back and forth, up and down. And for the most part, that seems to be the most fun way to do it.
Likewise, we're taught how to live life. That we need to be in control and live perfectly balanced. But we find ourselves struggling to stay lifted off the ground.
So, learning how to let go of our prior understanding of the seesaw can be hard. But once we decide to alter the way we teeter on the totter, we realize the rest and comfort that comes from the ground is exactly what we need. What completes. What takes the weight and pressure off.
Because as far as I'm concerned, if God were at the highest exalted point in all our lives, the playground would be at peace.
"Be exalted, O God above the heavens;
Let your glory be above all the earth."
Psalm 56:5
