"some trust in human means, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." (my paraphrase of Psalm 20:7)
Over the last couple of weeks I've been trying to spend a considerable amount of time each morning still in meditation. I've begun to notice a real unhealth in my spirituality - mainly that much of it resides in cognition. I want to love not only with my mind and body but with my heart and soul as well.
As I've been sitting and praying I'm reminded of the power and reality of God's Spirit and presence. I want my prayers not only to be words I say or think but living realities and I fear my friends that I cannot will that into being. I make myself available, but the internal change I seek I'm finding comes from another source outside of myself.
I often struggle with the reality of God's power and being tapped into that stream. Depending on the circle you run in it's either celebrated our looked down upon, but I believe the force of God in the world must be real as well as it's access. My from my vantage point I need to be reminded of resting in God and residing in love. I guess what I'm getting at is I want to have a deep and profound love for the author of my being - one that propels me.
May we be connected to the Master as well as follow what he teaches.
