I am reminded this morning of that wonderfully clarifying sentence, Most important is the discovery that spiritual principles could solve all my problems.
That is a particularly clarifying sentence to me...or it became that...because I had trouble discerning spiritual principles as opposed to pretty sounding platitudes. My way to discernment: Does it work in my own life? Every time? For the good? Even when it doesn't seem good to my reasoning mind? Ah, there's my divining rod, mainly because it requires patience, which is a spiritual principle all by itself, according to me.
Even when it doesn't seem good to my reasoning mind requires that we sit and wait on the Lord (oh, hey, a spiritual principle) which requires nothing more nor less than sitting in the silence, as in quieting our questioning mind. Yes, and who's kidding whom?...that's why sex, drugs and rock and roll were our preferred go-to...faster, not better just quicker, results. I used to think that God is a drag-foot...used to, until my BFO that God goes slow just so we can keep up.
Back to spiritual principles solving all problems...that is all I need remember this morning. I don't need to choose which spiritual principle...the Father within doth the work.
It is in the remembering the Father that I am lifted into reliance on the Father...and all is well in my world.
Thank you.
