What most of us would call the problem—the negative, the accidental, the sinful—is the precise arena for divine revelation. -- Hebrew Scriptures interpretation
We are taught early in our spiritual education that affirmations are all right and good, but until we live what we are affirming, we are just repeating so many words.One of my favorites, He goes before me to make the crooked places straight, is before me now for me to prove. My way has felt crooked, the straight has yet to show itself, my head has been "busy" so to speak.
Looking to Hebrew Scriptures, I feel a tish relieved in reading "the problem...as the precise arena for divine revelation." I also pull myself back with the reminder of my experience with divine revelation is that usually I realize it after the fact...as I look back days, weeks, even years later and marvel at the outcome of "the problem."
So, here's me today...relying on the Lord to my pitiful best, with my chest tightening, my head feeling less than wonderful, yet inner-knowing that My Father has already solved my problem. This is the crooked road I get to walk...and whenever I am where I need to be, I will look back and marvel at the straightened path I walked.
Thank you.
