Ferris wheel at Punahou Carnival
Good Morning, God. It’s Monday and the cycle of the week begins. Around and around go the days of the week — structured and predictable — yet still managing to hold surprises. Ours to fill, or leave open and even in open we can make some choices.
Yes, kind of like this ferris wheel. And I like it like that. No over the top roller coaster rides for me, God. At least, I’m not signing up for any — I’m not volunteering.
Hmmmm. Sunday morning in a small group at church I was talking about what Paul said in Ephesians 1:19: — That the same Holy Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead is at work in us.
Inviting Your Holy Spirit in to be at work in me? That involves RISK, doesn’t it. I rattled it off so effortlessly — as if it were easy — as if YOU would be doing all the work.
I’ve been acting if my life consisted of just getting on the ferris wheel . . . and having You turn it around and around. Hmmm. I am beginning to feel as if I might have missed the point in my being here. . . like, maybe my being comfortable and content and happy –yes, even my being grateful and thankful and full of praise — isn’t exactly what YOU have in mind for me.
Now that is NOT a comfortable thought! But, I have to admit, it is a good thought to start my week on — my ferris wheel week? We will see, won’t we.
Story teller,
A Moment with God
