Divine Dance...

 

Finally... I found the book I was looking for!!! The Divine Dance by

Shannon Kubiak... I found it alas! Really like what she wrote in this book... Read about

half the book already... Though was suppose to be preparing for cell... Preparing for

everything else... I thank God I can find time to read this book... It's about dancing the

one true dance we all are suppose to dance for our Lord... Like the way she puts

everything together... It makes me think about the way I live...

Too often a times, I would like to please everybody around me... Seeing them happy

makes me happy... Too often a times, I forget that I only need to look to pleasing one

person only... GOD... I thought that meeting the needs of others, making them happy

is what God wanted no doubt... But He wants me to worship Him, not please the

world... I have too often a time forgotten my true calling... I get myself so busy and

think that I am serving Him... I enjoy making all that I do worship unto Him... Yet I know

full well that it is not what He desires... He desires my obedience... To obey His voice...

To rest when He says so and to do the things He says to do... He desires my obedience...

To worship Him and pray on my knees... His ways are far greater than mine...  And like a

story I read the other day... The story is called Pushing the Rock... I am reminded that

God's ways are beyond our understanding...

Pushing the Rock...

God was talking with a man and asked him to go to this rock and push on it. For years

the man did what God asked him to do and continued to push on the rock.

One day, the devil came up to this man and said "look at you, you are pushing this

rock but it is going nowhere, it hasn't even moved an inch." Thus the man started to

have doubt and prayed to God and asked him why the rock is not moving. He said that

he was faithful in pushing the rock but nothing is moving. Then God answered,  "I told

you to push the rock, not move it. Look at the muscle that you gain from pushing on the

rock all these years, the strength that you gain. I have someone else planned to move

the rock, your purpose was to push on it."

This story reminded me that sometimes, as I pray, no matter how long and hard, He is moving

the mountains... That God just want me on my knees longer... So that I get stronger knees...

So that with the strengthen knees, I can dance the Divine Dance for Him... I basically need to stop

dancing to the rhythm of the world... And be more in tune with God's rhythm for me...
