I know that God is with me and will help me to think and say and do the right thing. -- "Twenty-Four Hours A Day," August 5
I do believe if we took that very quote and held to that until we realized from our toes up the absolute truth of it, we would never have another fretful day. Also, we'd never have a need for any of the hundreds of books we read trying to find The Right Answer For Me. Which isn't to say we shouldn't read, we could just quit reading in order to find a new and different answer.
The fact is I do believe that God is with me and will help me to think and say and do the right thing. It's just that my ego Lucy is faster on the uptake than my God is. I know the why of that too, of course...the why is just as God so graciously once whispered to me, I must go slow in order for you to keep up.
Lucy has no such strictures...quick, fast and in a hurry is all she knows.
Whoa! There's my blinding flash of the obvious: I doubt not that there's the seed and sum total of all my spiritual growth...to learn daily (and relearn the next day) to discipline my own self to hold the reins on Lucy, to give over to God always and all ways, and to know that to fail is God's will for it brings me back to God and still more spiritual growth.
Thank you.
