Beyond Zoom A work in progress Previous Day Next Day
Scripture: Psalm 105:5-8: Remember the wonderful works he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he has uttered, O offspring of his servant Abraham, children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. He is mindful of his covenant forever, of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations. Abridged: Helping to grow the unconditional love of God on earth requires sacrifices and miracles beyond our human abilities. Meditation: As we move beyond self, we no longer need to know what God intends to do in our life, nor to debate with God whether we possess the gifts needed to complete the work to which we have been called. When following the way of Jesus, we are unaware of the gifts God has given so that we do not become boastful of them. To test the measure our faith, we also remain unaware of the long-term objectives of the work the Holy Spirit is accomplishing through us. God places within our heart a desire to serve, whispers in our soul a task to perform, and then we say "yes" without ever asking how or why. As we move forward in faith, doors will miraculously open and the Light of God will shine through to show us the way. As we devote ourselves in faith to a purpose we often do not know or understand, we recognize that we are on the right path when we feel and perceive in others and in our work the presence of the Holy Spirit. Also, remaining unaware of God’s plan for our life, we are not likely to feel fear nor unprepared to complete the journey that lies ahead. Helping to grow the unconditional love of God on earth requires sacrifices and miracles beyond our human abilities. Living in faith enables us to be empowered for the work of God by the Holy Spirit beyond our own knowledge and abilities. Prayer: God has provided for all of our needs. God has given us food. God has given us shelter. God has created the sun and the wind. God has colored the world with sky, and clouds, and trees, and flowers. God has made friends for us to walk with, and talk with. God has thought of everything we need, and He has provided. We give you thanks, Blessed Lord, and seek to be content in the arms of your bountiful love. Amen Enter password: .
