I want to be flexible

Physically speaking, I am not very flexible. I am usually stiff as a board. There is really no need to ask me to do a back handstand. None. Our little girl can do them with EASE. She is very flexible. I really have to stretch and stretch to become flexible enough to touch my toes. I guess you could say that I am not very flexible.

However, when it comes to attitude, I try to be flexible, to overcome and adapt. Oh, don't get me wrong, I am not always; there are times when I will dig my heels in and make a mess of things. But, for the most part I try to be flexible. I try to do the will of GOD. I try to do what He wants me to do. I want to find more ways to accomplish His will and less excuses not to.

Today's word is Psalm 40:8, NASB, which reads, "I delight to do Your will, O my GOD; Your Law is within my heart."

Being flexible means that you are willing to be challenged and changed, including submitting to the plans of others, when they are part of GOD'S will. It isn't always easy to give up control or to give in to others' plans. But, if we are committed to GOD and to doing His good will, we usually find peace in serving others and helping others complete what GOD has given them.

Look, you may be really physically flexible. And, if you are, it must be nice. While I would like to be more physically flexible, my true desire is to be found flexible to GOD. I truly want to do His will and to be found useful and usable. I want to try to complete the tasks, the calling that He has on my life. And, when things aren't necessarily going the way I "think" they should, I want to be flexible.

Be Blessed,
