Cocooned
I am cocooned! Not literally but spiritually! I am encased in scripture. I have taken refuge from the outside world ...it's warm in here ..Safe. In here! I know I can't stay forever, but I am not ready to break out just yet!
Thinkn' God has some work to do on me before He sets me free! Is He remaking me? No, He is reviving me! I go willing into the cocoon ...knowing I have been running low on spirituality !
How does that happen? Why don't I recognize my spiritual tank is nearing empty!
Too caught up the world comes to mind!
I once read of a woman who chopped open a squash...split it perfectly in half and with all of its in flesh and seeds laying there before her...she saw herself!
I'm sayin...maybe that's where I was before I cocooned! Split in half...one half doing Gods work and the other half doing worldly things. Can't have it both ways! God is gracious....God is good...but He wants all of you!
I am resting in his words, nesting in His love! Enveloped! Snug , safe...I don't want to leave!
I know that's not possible, a fantasy! God didn't save me to hide...He saved me because He loves me...He expects I will spread the news, his news...not keep it to myself! ..
"......for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am in. " Philippians 4:11, a dear friend reminded me of that scripture verse! Assuring me! God! has you where He wants you.....
So for now I am enjoying this respite ...filling up the spiritual tank...preparing for the break out....preparing to try my wings in whatever direction God sends me!
