I cannot keep track of the number of times I have told God I simply cannot do something. I suppose God finds this amusing given my record of discounting God’s ability to work through me. It is easy for me to fall back into thinking it must all come from me. Even when I call on God for help because I am never certain of how it will come, I doubt it. I have come to understand this is part of the delight of the mystery of life. I need only remember that God will show up not how. If I knew how I suppose that would make me God. It keeps an agile spring to our relationship that I can rely on God to be present even when I have no idea what that presence will look or feel like. This kind of reliance requires me to have faith. Faith that God is who God says God is in all circumstances and experiences. Just because my feelings and thoughts change like the wind, does not mean God changes. The reliance of God’s presence on our dates each morning is by far the greatest evidence when I am not able to recall anything else. There are plenty of times when I don’t want to show up to our dates. I won’t be present enough, I am distracted, I am feeling too many things for my heart to quiet down, or I really messed up. I have plenty of excuses by God is always there.
Be From Reliance!
on May 28, 2017My prayer for us is the courage to rely on God’s word to us when we feel we cannot rely on our word to us today.
