Uneven Revelation

Some days I feel God has shown me so much that I could just explode trying to get it all out.  I see truths in His word and in my life that beg expression.  Interactions I have with others are full of insight.  Events around me seem coordinated, as though the Lord is trying to make sure I don't miss what it is He wants me to see.

But other times, I'm struggling to see what is fresh.  I feel like I'm walking through the day faithfully, but I don't see this neat coordination of events as though it is being composed for a purpose.  I don't mean that life seems random and nonsensical, only that I don't perceive the same level of interconnectedness.  For some reason, I don't feel the Lord is giving me fresh insight or revelation.

Why is this?  Is it because I cannot handle being in that mode all the time?  Is it because my sin (both known and unknown to me) hinders it?  Could it be that the Lord still is revealing things to me, but I miss them because of my own distraction or busyness?  When I began this blog, I believed that one of the big reasons I was missing some of the things the Lord wanted to teach me is because I simply didn't have a planned avenue for expression of this sort of thing.  My hope was that by having this blog, and placing an expectation on myself that I would write every day would aid in that process.

I believe the blog has likely performed that function.  But I still find myself some days late at night having not written anything and wondering what I should write for that day.  Several times lately (obviously), I haven't had anything to say and thought it better to write nothing that something with so limited value.  But I am still wrestling with why that seems to be happening more now than it was a month ago.
