Guidance & Reflection – Week 204

by | Dec 22, 2023 | General

WEEK 204

God, what is your guidance for me today?

Today,

move out of the way

and let Me through.

In all you do and say,

let My Spirit inform you,

speak through you

and act in you.

Doing these things demands

your humility.

It is this humility I want.

Will you give it?

Only then will you become

empty enough that I can

fill you… infuse you 

with My Spirit… 

My Wisdom.

Only then can we become

Co-creators today;

you becoming a living vessel

for Divine Will…

humble, yet a powerful 

instrument for God’s love.

Are you willing to do this, 

and be this… 

today?

 

Evening Reflection 

Today was an especially poignant day. I was the guest preacher at the church my dad pastored. There were people who came just to hear me. My mother and sister were present as well.

It is a surreal feeling, standing where dad stood, wearing the clerical garments, and remembering growing up in this setting, looking at people who have known me from way back when. And of course, I wanted to preach well, even impress. 

And this is where today’s guidance was impactful. It reminded me of what I already knew, but needed to be reminded of, so that I could relax. Today’s guidance was a reminder that my job is to move aside and allow spirit through. It was a reminder that it is God doing the doing as I humble myself to be a willing servant, fulfilling my calling as minister, an instrument of the Lord.

To move aside does not mean I am not there. It means I take ego out of it. It means I expand my consciousness beyond me… to Thou… and the whole enterprise becomes a co-creation of Thee and me. It is an exciting adventure. Being ready in the moment to hear God guiding the written sermon, filling it with ad libs and extra comments and insights that would not come had I not been prepared. It was glorious to experience the day at my home church. All I can say is, Thank you!

Was there something today, where it served you to move aside and allow the presence of God to guide it all?
