Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
A Binary Alternative
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5 But God.

Unfit
In my sin, I am unfit even to be in the presence of God. And yet, here I am, a child of God, saved not by grace, but by abundant grace. Not by mercy, but by exceeding riches of mercy.
Two Things
We are guided by one of two things. Satan. Or the Holy Spirit. Satan appeals to the flesh and the things of this realm. The Holy Spirit guides by Truth.
Divine Encounters
Watch for those whom God puts in your path today, remembering the words of St. Francis of Assisi: "The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today."

Alignment
When we cannot meet the difficulties that we face in this world with equanimity and shalom, it is a sign we are out of alignment with God's Will.
Even Unto The Details
Naaman went with his horses and chariot and stopped at the entrance to Elisha’s house. Elisha sent a servant out to tell him to go and wash himself seven times in the Jordan River, and he would be completely cured of his disease. But Naaman left in a rage, saying, “I...
Peace
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 CSB Peace is not the absence of conflict, pain, or stress. Peace is the fully yielded soul in complete alignment and obedience with the Will of...
The Bible Is Binary
Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God. So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t...
Beauty For Ashes
Isaiah, a prophet of God, circa 600 BC, foretelling of the coming Messiah: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and...
Say What?
Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4...

A Prayer to God, The Holy Trinity
O LORD JESUS, give me ears to hear. Fill me with thy Spirit that my abiding awareness of Him continually pushes itself to the forefront of my life. I am blind. Send Him that I might me see; that in my darkness He might say, ‘Let there be light’. Send Him as the...
Desire /6
Too much of a good thing. We naturally desire good things, and are familiar with this expression. Here for further reflection are variations on the theme: "For whoso hath too much of any good, of that same good he shall soon be bereft." The Fall of Princes, John...
Desire /5
O Thou that hearest prayer, teach me to pray. I confess that in religious exercises the language of my lips and the feelings of my heart have not always agreed; that I have frequently taken carelessly upon my tongue a name never pronounced above without reverence and...
Desire /4
May the Lord's answer find you, come to rescue you, when you desperately cling to the end of your rope. May the name of the True God of Jacob be your shelter. May He extend hope and help to you from His holy sanctuary and support you from His sacred city of Zion. May...
