Gnats are like thoughts, they just don't want to go away!

Every morning I try and go for a walk, very sweet time with the Lord. Lately their have been gnats that are relentless. (Interestingly I am helping at an FCA camp with the title Relentless right now!) They fly in my mouth, eyes, ears & nose. There seems to be nothing I can do to get them to stop. Outside of a fire emanating from my head in every direction, I don't see them going away. When the Holy Spirit was first given to us, it came like tongues of fire above the heads of all who were waiting in the upper room, as Christ instructed them to after rising form the dead. (Acts 2:3) That's what we need when faced with our days, the thoughts, the situations that surround us. We need to "Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:5) Also I've noticed it helps a lot when we crucify the flesh daily with it's passions. (Galatians 5:24-25) But we need to be relentless in Christ, in our pursuit of Him, as He is of us. I will continue on my walks, even if I have to wear a hat! I will praise Him in everything. I will pray, fast, I will live for Him and not for me. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my Father God and I will exult Him! Thoughts swirl around my head daily like gnats. I must have the power of The Holy Spirit at work in me, walking daily in The Spirit, so He can have all the glory! In Jesus Name, Amen!
