God Doesn’t Take Credit Cards

God is never unfair. If we have been busy living life secularly, perhaps believing in God but doing little to demonstrate that belief, is it really any surprise when we fail to demonstrate spiritually when problems and trouble comes? Once again, reaping and sowing in action. No real crop (practicing prayer and meditation, being of service) was ever planted and now winter (trouble) has arrived and the cupboard is bear. Since the Universe isn’t a fast food restaurant where if you have a credit card you can get your food on the promise of future payment, for in truth, God doesn’t take credit cards. 

The promise of prayer and good works tomorrow is meaningless towards our demonstration today. Faith without works is dead.

So start today to plant the crop you wish to harvest, to stock your cupboard for the inevitable winter days that come for all. To be clear: We cannot live off of yesterdays work, for in truth what our cupboard is stocked with is the reality of our relationship with and to God, that by doing HIS work well TODAY, all our future needs will be met.

So, just for today Practice the Presence of God in every area of life. Salute the spark of the Divine in all you meet. Forgive. Spend a few minutes each day in prayer and meditation. Carry the Good News on your face so that any who hunger can be filled. By planting and nurturing this crop, we will never hunger, our cupboard always full, our good works the demonstration of the Power within.
