"Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God's children." 3 John 11b
I received a forwarded e-mail today that has the perfect illustration of how to follow what is good. In order to do good, you must follow God's Word, Way, and Will for your life. You must allow Him to give you guidance. Here's an interesting item that addresses our responsibility to follow God's guidance. I hope you'll be as blessed by it as I was.
Dancing With God
When I meditated on the word Guidance,I kept 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.
And remember...In happy moments, PRAISE GOD, Difficult moments, SEEK GOD, Quiet moments,WORSHIP GOD. Painful moments, TRUST GOD, Every moment, THANK GOD.
In Christ,
Mark
