For some reason I think of this when I think of Galations 6:7-8.

After last week's sermon on prayer (http://www.covlife.org/sermons/), another stretch of metaphors/analogies came to me. I was reminded and was refreshed with a desire to be persistent in prayer, and to keep knocking.(Luke 11:9). I imagined that to be pretty tiring after a while if God's plan is to teach me something by keeping me at the door. That would be a great shoulder work out. I then thought about kidney failure and how it has affected my bones
(http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/renalosteodystrophy/index.htm) specifically my clavicles. I have always been self-concious of my narrow shoulders since it is a physical reminder of toxicity inside of me. God's Word reveals an awesome promise of glorification, which like my justification and santification, I am banking on God with. Therefore, my physical shoulders should not be a source of sadness but a reminder that God's going to take care of it. But maybe God wants me to work on having HUGE spiritual shoulders by persistently knocking.
