This morning's blinding flash of the obvious: It is not my words but my works that count with God.
In pondering that, the question occurs: Does everything begin with a single thought? That first thought over which we are powerless? It would seem so; indeed, that must be the case. Which sure does make the case for relying on God as our guide, for spiritual thoughts to be welcomed, for letting go of old ideas quick, fast and in a hurry...because there's a second thought a'coming.
It is that second thought that we are responsible for...and if we're still clinging to old ideas, we will still be acting in old ways. And if we're acting in old ways, those ways aren't old...they are current, and the way we are, not were.
Maybe it does not matter to God how pretty we sound, how profound our words, how sonorous our sermon. I'm guessing all that matters is what we do for God...through another.
Thank you.
