Incohesive, Exhausted – March 31, 2026 (127/2026)

‘You keep declaring things, and writing about the same stuff – the goodness of God, the faithfulness of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, and so on and so forth. It’s all writing! Aren’t you going to let us in on anything that’s going on in your life apart from you just saying ‘God is good’ over and over again?‘

Well… no. No, because to be honest with you, I don’t think I have anything else going on in my life right now to write about, apart from the goodness and grace of our Father.

Or, maybe I do, and I don’t think I want to write about any of it because there’s nothing much to report, and/or it’s all going in a pace that’s too slow for me. Or, maybe I have my eyes set on other things that I think are important where nothing is going on, that’s keeping me from appreciating where much is moving.

However it is, I find all the more reason to proclaim the goodness of God, and to testify of His saving grace, brought generously and lovingly to us by way of Christ laying down His body and blood for our redemption.

I just finished a third workout video today, and I’m just deciding to match my physical workouts with mental exercising, meaning I’m writing after exercising. The question at the beginning of all this chicken scratch was a form of the questions that zipped through my mind as I was working on my shoulders, triceps and biceps.

Yep, while Tony Horton was being himself, jabbering while lifting impossible rep after rep, it’s those questions of waiting and not moving enough that were formulating. And it just led me to thinking that there’s so much that I want, so much that I want done, but I’m finding myself with no money, and not much to show for myself.

But, even from a secular point of view, I don’t think I’m wasting any time, working out, and exercising my mind like this. I continue to believe that all of this compounds, and all of this will eventually build into something far beyond my expectations.

All along, I believe it’s the continuous stream of the Word of God that sustains me, and the Holy Spirit that continues to encourage me to keep going. I am also assured – or, if I’m being honest, I’m assuring myself through all this that my God is working – in situations beyond my control, in hearts beyond my reach, and in souls beyond my influence.

I guess that’s why I keep on writing. It just, helps. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying the words of Francis Bacon – Reading makes a full man, speaking makes a ready man, and writing makes a precise man. Now I’m not necessarily full-on precise here, but I know for a fact that I feel more focused in the sense that not all of my thoughts are jammed up in my brain.

Writing helps in the sense that I’m able to free space in my mind, for more room for the Word of God to move and to spruce things up in there, for more space to move and groove. Sort of like when you appreciate wider spaces when you work out, even if you don’t necessarily maximize all of the real estate.

Writing also helps in the sense that I’m actually able to put whatever visuals, sounds, scenes, and other thoughts linger in my mind… into tangible words – perhaps for me to come back to later, but definitely for external storage, at the very least.

So whoever’s been reading all this (thank you, by the way), well, these are entries into what may very well be an archive, and we’re apparently updating this pretty regularly, considering everything that flows through this big forehead.

And, sure, a big chunk of ‘everything that flows’ is really just the goodness of God, the finished work of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, slamming into me graciously as waves from an eternal, vigorous ocean.

In the grand scale of things, apparently it’s what’s eternal that consistently stands out as noteworthy… at least in my current opinion. It’s all that matters, and it’s the foundation of all I’ll be sharing.

I only pray that as we wait upon the Lord, we would come through all that we’re facing in our own personal lives – with renewed strength, and with a more powerful testimony to all that is absolute – that is, again, the grace of God, the finished work of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

And this is a note to myself, more than anyone else – Be strong in the Lord and be of good courage. Abide in Him, meditate on His Word, and continue to bear fruit in season.

All for the unity of the body, for the expansion of His Kingdom, and for the utmost glory of His name.

Psalm 149

Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment

1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints.

2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds.

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 To execute on them the written judgment— This honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD!

May the Lord continue to minister to us with fresh revelations and renewed strength, as we continue throughout this week. May we find peace, rest and restoration and we reflect on Christ and His finished work.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
