Maditation – March 26, 2009

Posted on Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Scripture: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Prayer: Whenever this verse finds me, I do not tire of its assurance.

Response: It is difficult not to see that this verse is met for you individually and not in some broad, collective sense. Wherever you are this day, the verse serves as my reminder to you this special day that I have plans for you. In the whirl of your activity, sometimes lost to you is that I care. You are like weavers in a huge hall who receive the fiber and intuitively know the pattern on which you are working. And I ask from where that intuition comes? Lost in the swirl of color, the pattern you are forming, you lose sight and appreciation for the work of art to which you are contributing. When you step back – or rather within – you sense the creation of which you are part and to which you create. This is a difficult concept for you to appreciate. Accept that you are not puppets on a string pulled by a great puppeteer, rather you are co-creators

For you to catch a glimpse of the vision I have for you, pause for your tea break – as if you were a weaver in the mountains of Central Asia, step back or better yet reach a higher elevation to see the interconnectedness unfolding in the tapestry of your life to those around you and afar. And as I said above, that stepping back is actually the step within where all is made clear to you, even now.

Spend a moment this day on the word prosper. I have plans to prosper you. While you might be more familiar with the noun prosperity, consider the empowerment, the blessing, the selection that the verb prosper conveys. Don’t look around and think that I am directing my gaze elsewhere. No, I intend my words for you this very moment. All you have to do is hear the words and accept them.

All for this morning.
