As I've mentioned, repeatedly over the years, I am on a new path...seeking to do God's will on trust. It is not easy...the material mind has a will of its own where trust is accepted only after any perceived problem has been analyzed, overanalyzed and questioned one more once.
Since we cannot for sure know ahead of time how a new action will turn out, or more to the point, how to our reasoning mind it will turn out, analysis paralysis is nearly inevitable. It may (usually does) appear to be an OMG...then we CYA ASAP and leave the ashes of our butt-on-fire all over the place...when it was God's will, God's way to begin with if we had trusted.
Ah, but the disorder we bring about is the beginning of our still more spiritual growth. And the beginning is ever with resist not...resist not owning our mistakes for our admission paves our golden path to God. We must quit allowing lies to do our thinking for us. Just because we don't say them aloud doesn't mean they aren't blocking our spiritual growth.
There it is. The proof that spiritual growth is counterintuitive. All God's work is for our benefit no matter what our "common sense" tells us.
Trust...our new watchword. Whatever comes to us...or appears to be coming to us...we say thank you. We trust. And learn that to do God's will on trust is not easy...it is, however, incomparably rewarding.
Thank you.
