on the way over to the library i was listening to larry norman singing this song...so apropos to the story of my life...thinking i'm going up (or worse yet, 'arrived') and actually going backwards. nobody else is fooled when i'm not at all like God..even me.
the lyrics-
walking backwards down the stairs
trying to get higher
how can i get anywhere
walking backwards down the stairs
watching life elude me
slipping through my grasp
oh i know the truth at last
but to reach the top i've got to stop from
walking backwards down the stairs trying to get higher
how can i get anywhere
walking backwards down the stairs
people stop to watch me
wonder what i'm doing
what direction i'm pursuing
i pretend i'm free but actually i'm
walking backwards down the stairs
trying to get higher, higher
how can i get anywhere
walking backwards down the stairs
i so relate to these words
and ask God this morning for His mercy and grace
to actually come closer to Him
by doing consistently what He says
and by actually desiring to please Him
in every thought, word and deed.
(not one seeing but Him..)
