Pro-Tip: Waiting on or expecting others to give you their permission to go after your dreams and live the abundant life you God promised you is never a good strategy. And yet...

Three interesting things there:
1) "Commit" there is from the word "galal" in Hebrew, meaning to "roll away"
2) "Works" there is from the word "asah" in Hebrew and one of the connotations as it's used here is actually "art".
3) "Succeed" there is from the word "kun" in Hebrew, meaning to establish, make firm, make provision for.
"Roll away (the weight, the pressure, the performance anxiety of) your art to the Lord and He will establish you and your art in a firm place with all the provision you need." I like that.

When people ask me how I?m doing or what?s going on, over the years I?ve always said something like ?oh, I?m just as busy as I can be!?
Growing up, busy-ness was next to godliness. The busier I was, the more effective I felt. My identity was in being busy, focused, occupied.
Nowadays, I don?t believe that. I?m trying to do more with less. I?m purposing to live at rest, in the reality of Sabbath 24/7/365. I am diligent daily to do what?s before me, trusting God for the fruit.
I literally laid down on the floor of my office yesterday and took time to worship and listen in the middle of the day. Why? Because I was tired, starting to strive and feeling pressure. I am retraining my brain and body.
I?m learning to run at rest.
It?s been an Eatin? and Shootin? kinda Thanksgiving

Oh that artists would give themselves the same grace they give their work... trusting beauty is unfolding, even in the midst of an unsure process.
Just for the thanks given......
