Some friends are campaigning, some are demonstrating peacefully, some are writing letters, all of which I have participated in at one time or another, none of which have a voice in me today. So, I wonder: How can what I know from my eyebrows up show forth...how can I loose Him and let Him go?
Later that very morning I read in Rohr's "Daily Meditation," True prophecy is based upon a prophetic lifestyle, which of itself—wordlessly—confronts an ungodly society. It is this new lifestyle—this new way of relating with persons, goods, institutions, and God—that is itself an arresting alternative to the ways of the world.
Reading that, I remembered two then three incidents fairly recently in which I had quietly, no farfare, no "explaining," used new-to-me behavior, offering solutions as opposed to judgments...and offering rather than imposing. None of which was preplanned or mentally scripted, all of which were well met.
Those are the results that often, not always but often, show God's will is being done...with or without our knowledge and consent. That God is on the field whether we know it or not...whether we believe it or not.
I suspect that it is that last, whether I know it, whether I believe it, or not God is, that is my building block in trusting God has my back...always and all ways.
Thank you.
