The imponderableI sat with a good friend today pondering out loud. Its fun to do that at the beach, where worries are reduced to "when did I eat last?" and "if it rains does it matter because I'll get wet anyway?"Anyway, our pondering led us to the inevitable discussion of "what does God want us to do?" It was a good discussion. Our conclusion was that we are the ones who make it a hard question, forgetting the scripture that implores us to do whatever we do as though it were for Him. We can, therefore, start where we are and just devote our next thing to Him. Doing this will start the path, as He sees our direction and willingness and then directs us. I remember watching an Easter movie when I was a kid. In the movie it dramatized the story of Jesus feeding the crowd of 5000 with the few loaves and fish. The presentation of this was good - rather than focusing on how many fish and loaves it took to feed the crowd, it was that every time an individual reached into the basket, there was a loaf or a fish for him. The crowd was there to listen to Christ. Nobody had anything more than they needed, but they had all they needed. His provision is the same today. Every time I ask Him to enable me, especially in work I am doing for Him, there is exactly what I need in the basket. If I worry about how much it should be I rely on me rather than Him. If I do what I am doing right now for him, the basket will have just what I need...no more, just exactly what I need. 3:36 PM - Jun. 5, 2009 - post comment
