The worse the national news appears to be today, the more convinced I am that we are in God's hands. Face it, most of us didn't originally come to God because it seemed like a neat idea...we came out of gutbucket need...God-inspired, God-delivered need.
Still, it is difficult to keep that thought in the forefront of the mind even having had a crash-and-burn experience bring us to our peace. However, we are brought back to it in a red-hot minute, when needed.
That is how we learned to welcome life's less-thans, by being brought to the realization that underneath are the everlasting arms is truth...our personal truth, not just a pretty saying from the Bible. Admittedly, we never heeded that saying till we crashed and burned, a.k.a., when we needed it.
We would have no working knowledge of those arms if we were as unfettered as we want to be, as we pray to be. It is our prayers, however, that have led us to the place we need to be now. [Think of the line in the 23rd Psalm, Thou prepares a place before me in the presence of mine enemies.] Filled with anger...i.e., fear...over the state of America and our life in it today, we wonder what we can do to help right it.
Comes now our answer, a centering-in-God pause, and over time becomes a constant and ceaseless prayer, an honoring of and a connection with the Divine in you that awakens your essential self.
God's will, God's way is not of the reasoning mind...we discovered that as we looked back and realized our worst fear had become our greatest blessing...and always we had been an active part of it.
That was true then...that is true now. Our way will be made clear to us in the moment...Now...as we keep our eye on the prize, the Divine within.
Thank you.
