I saw a picture of someone in a narrow one seater rowing skiff. The boat was skimming over the surface of the water so easily. The person rowing was in a steady stride, pulling on the oars with ease. It was not a race. It was a picture of freedom. But the freedom was ordered not haphazard. Muscles and experience were being built into the rower. And they were enjoying it.
The Lord says that your efforts are not in vain. They will become exhilarating as you continue to pull forward in a disciplined manner. And you will gain much ground through the momentum of spiritual excercise. With your oars of faith and trust working together nothing will hinder your progress!
'Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak'. 1 Corin 8:9
