Day 132

instead of posting a picture today, i thought i would post this piece a coworker sent me. i think it is relevant for everyone at various times in our lives but it is especially relevant for me during this season. sometimes we have no idea why things work out the way they do, but we do know our God loves us, cares for us and asks only that we trust him.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Dancing With God

When I meditated on the word Guidance,

I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.

I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.

The movement doesn't flow with the music,

and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,

both bodies begin to flow with the music.

One gives gentle cues,

perhaps with a nudge to the back

or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.

It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.

The dance takes surrender, willingness,

and attentiveness from one person

and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.

When I saw "G: I thought of God,

followed by "u" and "i".

"God, "u" and "i" dance."

God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head,

I became willing to trust

that I would get guidance about my life.

Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

My prayer for you today is that God's blessings

and mercies be upon you on this! day and everyday.

May you abide in God as God abides in you.

Dance together with God,

trusting God to lead

and to guide you through each season of your life.
