Deuteronomy 6:1-7
It is my sincere
belief that if people are taught and shown how to truly love God and be devoted
to Him above all else in their lives, they will do the works of God as a fruit
of that relationship. This is His world. He created it and lovingly attends to
it. He knows how everything is meant to
be. He will guide and direct His human
creation in the ways they are to be and how they can best care for and attend
to all He has made.
Building our own
towers, our own golden calves, and our own cisterns has never worked. Why do we continue to think they will? I have done much of this self directed
construction, creating many Ishmaels in my own understanding and wisdom, only
to find them empty and powerless to do what I thought they would do. It is only when I exhaust myself and humbly
come to God with my empty hands, no plans or blueprints for Him to bless, that
I see His work and my small part in it all.
When I become irrelevant in the eyes of the world, my eyes are opened to
the world as God sees it.
It starts as all things start…In the
beginning God.
