Fight.

Posted in spiritual by Benjamin Toalston on December 26, 2008

The trick is not to settle.  But to fight. Continually.  Hold fast.  All the more so, as we see the Day approaching.

“Today is my day.”

“Force the moment.”

Victory is coming, and so already is.  Lay hold of it.  Fight.

Thoughts…

Posted in spiritual by Benjamin Toalston on December 17, 2008

I’ve got em.  Perhaps too many.  Perhaps not enough.  Maybe I spend more time thinking about things that I shouldn’t be.  Maybe I spend less time thinking about things worth thinking of.  Maybe I stress, over-thinking, by my thoughts somehow adding to something that isn’t there.  I can’t stop thinking, then I’m dead.  I don’t want that.

Direction.  Ways.  Guide.  Statutes.  Laws.  Testimonies.  Commandments.  Precepts.  Promise.  Words.  Made flesh.  Life.  Inside.

I set my mind on things above, where Christ is.  My life is hidden.

Eyes fixed.  Heart longing.  Here I am.

“Not to enjoy God is to dishonor Him. To say that something else satisfies you more is the opposite of worship.”
-Desiring God

That’s just from the introduction…

Ouch.

Give me some more of that!
