Guidance
(Unknown Author)
As I study the word "guidance," I see the word "dance" at the end.
Doing God's will is similar to dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing works out right. Movement is irregular,
jerky and awkward. When one person relaxes and lets the other lead, both begin to move in unison to 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 together. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes draw back to the word "guidance." When I see "G," I think
of God, followed by "U" and "I." God, "U" and "I"
dance. God, you and I dance! This statement clearly describes what "guidance" means to me. As I bow my
head in prayer, I am willing to trust God to lead and guide me. "'And it changes direction, turning around by His guidance, that it may do
whatever He commands it on the face of the inhabited earth. Whether for correction, or for His world, or for
loving kindness, He causes it to happen.'" Job 37:12-13 (NASB)
If you're headed in the wrong direction . . . God does allow U-Turns!
"Poverty is life without Jesus,
but close friendship with Him
is incalculable wealth."
(Thomas a Kempis)
"Now change your mind and attitude to God
and turn to Him . . ."
Acts 3:19 (TLB)
