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 every day.
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 I Hope You
Dance!
