Let's Get At It

Sooner or later we all face that thing that we would rather avoid.  There may be a gathering that you would rather skip, or a conversation that you would just assume not be part of.  Basically there is a job that needs to be done.  It's your job to do, but you really really really wish that it wasn't.  When faced with this dreaded task, you only have two choices.  You can put it off or get on with it.

Now maybe you can put it off indefinitely and get out of it, but probably not.  Probably, that will just let you anticipate it longer, and who wants that.  I think when faced with something that you don't want to do, you might as well get it over with.  

This of course is easier said than done.  A lot easier.  But it is better in the long run to get it over with than to live in its dread.  If the right thing was the easy thing, we would never do the wrong thing.  So when doing the right thing when it is hard, we need a little help.

It is in these difficult times that we as Christians can rely on God's strength through the Holy Spirit.  And that is the choice of Jesus in His last hours.  He could have put it off.  He could have left Jerusalem or called an army of Angels to conquer, but that wasn't the plan.  In the last hours he asked God if there was another way, but when there was not, he went on with it.

When there is something that needs to be done, it is better to get at it, than to dread it.  This is not easy, but it becomes easier through the grace of God.
