Is God Unfair?

God is never unfair. If we have been busy living life on the secular basis, following our will and desires, believing in God but doing little to demonstrate that belief, is it really any surprise then that our prayers seemingly fall on deaf ears? To be clear: All prayers are answered in the positive but the Universe isn’t a fast food restaurant, where if we have a credit card we can get what WE want now on the promise of future payment. The promise of prayer and good works tomorrow is meaningless towards our demonstration today, for Faith without works is dead. So start today to plant the crop you wish to harvest daily, placing yourself in the hands of all knowledge, power and love. Remember, what our cupboard is truly stocked with is the truth of our relationship with and to God, that by doing HIS work well TODAY, we are promised that all our future needs will be met, perhaps not in the manner we have outlined but in a manner that benefits all.

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 this 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 truly hunger, our cupboard always full, our good works the demonstration of the Power within and our prayers in turn will have wings.

God Doesn't Break His Law

God Doesn't Break His Law

God doesn’t break cosmic law, to do so would establish favoritism, a pecking order. No one stands above another before God, all are loved equally, even though it may not appear so at times. Most however go through life by self propulsion until some hardship befalls. Then, being nominal believers they turn to prayer in desperation and fear, seeking immediate relief. God will always help so never hesitate to pray, for such is the nature of Grace, but if we are loved by God, a love greater than we have for our own children, why does God seemingly not answer instantaneously in the manner we have outlined in the prayer?

God never says “no”, but He never will or even can give prosperity to one if it brings poverty to another, peace to one by causing turmoil to another or if what we are praying for, unforeseen by us, would ultimately cause negative consequences. To do so breaks cosmic law, and since He is the author of the law, He never breaks it. All prayers are answered in the positive, but since we often pray with an predetermined hoped for outcome with certain expectations (outlining) based in self (fear), we are unable to see God’s hand at work and begin to feel our prayers are unheard. To be clear: All prayers are answered in the positive, God is always present, the question is are we present for Him, ready to step out in faith, trusting in His Love and Grace  for our future, leaving the fear driven life behind.

A Few More Sure Things

A Few More Sure Things

God is ready the moment we are.
We ready ourselves through consistent scientific prayer and meditation. Who would try to run a marathon without training or fly a plane with no instruction, yet spiritually many, if not most expect God to deliver just because they asked, kinda like asking to win a marathon while promising to train afterwards. To be clear: God can and does work miracles without prerequisite, such is the nature of Grace, but our responsibility having become aware is to Practice the Presence of God through prayer and meditation, consistently training ourselves to be of service to God and our fellows.

God always knows the answer.
God is either everything, all knowledge and power or else He is nothing. There is no middle ground.

The biggest fool of all is the man who bothers about outer things and neglects his own consciousness. If you have no time for prayer and meditation, you will have lots of time for sickness and trouble.
Toward the end of the movie Tombstone, Doc Holliday is receiving last rites from a Catholic priest as Wyatt Earp walks in. Doc comments to Wyatt “I was just investigating the mysteries of the Church of Rome. It appears my hypocrisies know no bounds.” Hypocrisy had little to do with it. We all choose the course of our lives, many putting off to tomorrow their “investigation.”  For Doc Holliday (at least in the movie), better late than never but since most of us cannot rely on cards and a quick gun hand for their source and security (ultimately failing Doc in the end as well), we choose the sure bet today, to Practice the Presence of God daily through prayer, selfless service and meditation.
