God is never unfair. If we have been busy living life on the secular basis, perhaps believing in God but doing little to demonstrate the belief, is it really any surprise when we fail to demonstrate spiritually when difficulties arise? 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, God doesn’t take plastic. 

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, stocking 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 daily demonstration of a Power Greater Than Ourselves which ultimately sets us free.

Fast Food God

God doesn’t, cannot break cosmic law, for to do so would establish favoritism. No one stands above another before God, Divine Love is not measured, is always available and is unlimited. Most unfortunately go through life living on self-will until some hardship befalls. Now being nominal believers they then turn to prayer in desperation and fear, asking for help. Now having been told that we are all loved by God, His Love boundless, why does God often seemingly not deliver or as some have said “God answers all prayers, just sometimes the answer is no?” How could this be?

Consider the fast food restaurant. We pull up to the speaker/microphone, place our order, drive up to the window and get our food. Oh wait, that’s right; we have to pay for the food before it is handed to us. What happens if we lack sufficient funds? No food, we go hungry. The person holding our order may love us and want with all their heart to provide us with the food since clearly we are hungry, in need of relief, but they cannot. In the secular world to do so would be unfair to other customers, fellow employees, the restaurant owner, company share holders and the community at large would suffer, because if we receive free food, why shouldn’t everyone? Providing something for nothing, based only in emotion, inevitably leads to anarchy, suffering and lack immanent.

Fortunately for us God exists outside secular rules, and God never says “no” but He never will or even can answer a prayer that will give prosperity to one if it brings poverty to another, peace to one by causing turmoil to another. 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 often because we have certain expectations, based in self, we are unable to see God’s hand at work.
