Dancing With God
When I meditate on the word Guidance, I keep 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.
This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached. If
God has done anything for you in your life, please share
this message with someone else, for prayer is one of the
best gifts we can receive. There is no cost but a lot of
rewards; so let's continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance!
