Beguiled by Noise
Confusion occurs when I am beguiled by the noise of the crowds, whether internal or external. I hear their chants and contrive it into some kind of a command. If I respond to self-imposed rigors then the whims of the flesh just keep changing the commands. For this reason I keep letting go, allowing Christ to purify my stream of thought. As the pool I draw from is purified, I find the commands are few and they are not in a continual state of flux. The commands conjured up by false and separated thinking change all the time and yes, they cause me momentary confusion. But I am anchored to Permanence and He returns me to simplicity time and again. I seek Him (in me, as me) and all these other things are added unto me (like a gift), not upon me (like a burden). In this season, simplicity is purity and purity is energy!
