Dancing With God
When meditating on the word GUIDANCE, we keep seeing “DANCE" at the end of the word. We can begin to think 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.
Our prayer for today is that God's blessings and mercies be upon us on this day and everyday. May we abide in God as God abides in us.
Let us dance together with
God, trusting God to lead and to guide us through
each season of our lives.
Jeremiah 29:11For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord. 1 ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you 2 a future filled with hope. 3
