Showing up is all that I may account for in any instance where God has bid me become a success. For there is no me when there are Miracles to be done, only God’s Holy Spirit and my momentary, empty tanked capacity to do the impossible through God’s Powerful Spirit residing within my heart. There is no me in this game, other than my complete dependence upon God’s Provision at the appropriate time to effect the transformation He set me about. There never was a me after the time I asked Him to send me.

Today I met the dread of my own inadequacy and laughed at the fact it used to control my entire world. Clumsy, without panache and far cry from any resemblance to eloquence you find me confidently looking at the gauge and seeing nothing but vapors, yet I know God will show up and do something amazing. This world and God’s enemies want to mock God by making me public spectacle which is easy for powers of arch angels and demons. What they’ve repeatedly forgotten is God never makes mistakes and uses the small, weak and untalented, a category that I sometimes unwillingly admit to to confound those who cease to attempt to contend with Him in Sovereignty.

God could use a toadstool if He so chose. But He has chosen man as the recipient of His Affection and the Domicile of His Power through which all things were made, for, by and through Christ, His Son. I am so grateful that God has not chosen the toadstool but hold on to no misgivings regarding just who it is has defeated Hell and Death. Yes, I claim and accept the adoption, inheritance, Grace, title of Son of God and my calling to Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness and self control. What I do not lay claim upon is that I have done any of it. He gave me the breath of Life, the Light, strength, growth, faith, talent, treasure and time. I am thoroughly amazed that I get to walk with Him on the journey from Divine Learning Opportunity to the next.

No there is no folly or misgiving here, God owns all the Glory, Honor and Praise for any thing I have, the things I’ve done and the destination to which I aspire in humility and wonder. Yes, I believe Him light year’s more than I believe in anyone else including myself. So venture to wherever He guides and stand in the face of overwhelming odds I say YES and why not? For God made all of this it is a rudimentary understanding that the creator of worlds knows exactly how they are made and unmade. This is no grand puzzle requiring established genius or brilliance, it is simply fact and logic. I am frankly astounded that there are any who will attempt to resist the Grace He offers, it simply makes no sense.

I am sorry for my arrogance. How a man as simple as I could be proud in any manner is another of those illogical puzzles that simply makes no sense from the outset. I am thankful to be on the road to simplicity. I am thankful to have little in the manner of worldly treasure for I have seen it be and maintain great burden for my worldly Family and for those who somehow seek to outsmart the Omniscient, Almighty God. I most often get in God’s way when I try to brilliant and am much better off waiting to receive direction before someone get’s hurt in my attempt which most often is me. Yes, I do have a good mind, thanks to God. Yes, I am able to fight my way out of most situations or think my way out if the fight is untenable, but the simple fact that having waited upon and listened to God’s direction Inever would had to do either prevails every time.
