Hot Dogs And Our Timeless Journey

Living on the Spiritual Basis our prayers take on a new flavor. Though all prayers are heard, we have come to know they are answered in the manner in which they are asked, putting faith in action. Trusting and relying on God we expect to receive for that is the promise, keeping in the forefront of our minds the truth that “faith without works is dead.” If hungry locking ones self in a closet and praying for a hotdog would be foolish, yet is that not exactly what many do in other areas of life? So we pray but take whatever material steps indicated for the difficulty at hand as well and if we are unsure on what steps to take we ask God to make them evident.

The problem that plagues many, if not all, is the concept of time. We have a time line in our minds eye for things that is of little concern to God. A Spiritual adviser years ago said to me “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.” God provides exactly what is required at exactly the moment required, our difficulty arising because we have outlined a hoped for outcome and time frame (giving God a helping hand since we know how busy He is) and when our expectations are not met, we subject ourselves to needless emotional wear and tear. Hindsight being 20/20 we look back and see where God did for us what we could never have done for ourselves. Had we received what we thought we needed at the time we would have missed something wonderful, a valuable lesson that moved the story of our soul along its ever-upward timeless journey. So trust in Him who has all knowledge and power and in prayer and meditation affirm "Be still and know that I am God."
