We often hear today, "All I need to know about God is It is not me." Actually, that is not all one needs know about God, but it is an excellent starting point.
I'm guessing the majority of us seek for God as we search for a security blanket...something tangible out there for us to hold to. The mental U-bie comes when, as Eknath Easwaran puts it, we "begin to find a source of security within ourselves." The gold is in the words "begin to find." For that marks the beginning of our changing mind...from chasing our security out there in money, men and power, and begin to realize that our source of security is within...unseen and unseeable.
That is the rock upon which we build our faith. Our ever-wavering faith. Which is another paradox for if our faith were not ever-wavering, the chances of us continuing to build would be slim to nil. We'd likely sit back, relax and wait for God's goodies to roll in.
God's perfect plan, never being our reasoning mind's first thought, will always surprise unto delight.
Thank you.
