Swimming against the current----again continued! Or "How your spiritual life is enhanced by not "going with the flow".
As we've already talked about, all areas of our life seem to be improved or enhanced by not just floating through life, but, rather, identifying where the current is and swimming against it. In the spiritual life this is perhaps the hardest to do because the currents are often not very clear.
Of course there are more obvious currents like lying (easy) vs telling the truth (hard when you're going to have a personal negative consequence), but not so obvious in many of the day to day interpersonal issues we face.
Of course it's easy to say that it's always right to pray (hard) rather than not (easy)----but what about "trust". That's hard to do too but often not easy to figure out what it looks like. Nevertheless, learning to trust God is the most important way to "swim against the current". It always seems easier to just grab the bull by the horns and worry about it like the world depended on me.
Here's where we the have the exception and the paradox. When one is truly "in the Spirit", the goal IS to go with the flow and not to fight against the stream. So much can be said about that I won't go into detail now.
I will bring us back to earth here though since the focus of these comments is how this all ties into a successful home business and, ideally, an automated home business. When you are growing in all ways, in body and mind and spirit, you are not only at your most creative but also at your most ethical. Both are crucial to building an automated home business that is going to last.
