God is present.  This moment right here, right now is where the Eternal is.  God has orchestrated a profound design of creation of which we are a part.  To come face to face with God, we need to be willing to be in alignment with all the elements of God’s orchestration.  We cannot fight reality. At least, as much as I have tried, I have not been able to do so.  Typically the reason I am fighting reality is because I have made a decision that what is, is not okay.  What is, shouldn’t be happening.  What is does not meet with my expectations.  What is seems less than.  What is is not enough.  There is no circumstance or reality in which I can know everything that is involved.  Herein lies the humility.  Of course, things are going the way I think they should.  I have a limited perspective on what is happening.  Of course, things are not enough, my mind is programmed to look for what is missing.  Over and over again in my meditation date time with God I hear the simple call to keep my eyes focused on God.  I am known to even fight the idea that focusing on God is enough.  But how could focus on the Creator of All Creation be anything but enough?  Do I think that God will forget about or abandon me?  There have been a number of times in my life, when I was pretty sure God had left or turned his back.   However, it was me who my place in the music.  The key for me is remembering that when I am focused on God I am best able to be present to the focus God has on me.  I need to realign myself with symphony of God’s orchestration that got blocked when I stopped following the conductor.

God is the answer. We encounter many questions as we go through the day.  Many we answer automatically and figure life is about having the right answer. If we can explain the outcomes to ourselves and others, we figure we got it covered.  God invites us to explore life, to be open to the myriad of possible solutions from our head and our heart.  God calls us to a deeper knowing that creates solutions where none may appear at first glance. God invites us to dance in the uncertainty of not having solutions.  We think having the answer will keep us safe. We think knowing protects us from being too vulnerable.  But if God is our answer and provides us the gift of love in our vulnerability, we can be open to learning another dance step or taking a turn with another partner.

My prayer for us is the courage to trust the solution of God to all things so we can embrace the dance of the question today.

If God is your solution, what questions would you spend time dancing with today?  Share in the comments.

God uplifts and encourages!  Engaging in the beauty of relationships with God means remembering the esteem in which  God holds us.  We cannot simultaneously depend on God and view ourselves as less than worthy without a conflict in our being.  If I am willing to trust in God’s perspective on things I have to include God’s perspective of me. Sometimes my resistance to welcoming God more fully into my life stems from not being open to God’s view of me.  I get stuck in my own perceptions, created by my limited mind and forget God’s perspective is deeper and wider than what I can comprehend with my head.  I need a boost.  My daily prayer and meditation routine is about my willingness to receive the boost of perspective and set my course for the day.
