Get in Sync the the Universe's Rhythm


NO HURRY: Prioritize

There is a rhythm of the infinitude of creation that is like the great heart-beat of the Almighty (the I AM, God, divine Love). This rhythm is never too fast or too slow.

A KEY element to peace, strength, comfort, accomplishment of right endeavors, and regaining  functional balance (for one's own sake and those around you) is to realize your eternal identity as "image and likeness" of the perfect One, the pure Being or Creator. 

Whatever the original does, the reflection moves right with it -- not before, not after. So the timing for your day is perfect, and is controlled by the divine Intelligence that fills all space. 

TO DEMONSTRATE OR MANIFEST THIS PERFECT RHYTHM OR TIMING:
1. Take 5-10 minutes after reading this offering, and prayerfully-meditate (in a quiet place if possible) holding to divine Love's rhythmic "heart-beat" -- in Spirit. You may find yourself gently rocking to it (without trying) as you calm, quiet, and bring conscious awareness to this gentle timing. You will feel it through your spiritual sense when gently turning thought toward it. 

2. WATCH (never think or say that anything is too fast or too slow). DECLARE that all things in the universe reflect and express the perfect timing of the perfect, Infinite One.

3. ACTION STEP:
What one thing -- one thing -- would be most important for you to do today? Take time to think this through. Write down that one thing you will do today. 
(It might be a task, or it might be an important communication with someone).

After your 5-10 minute prayer-meditation, begin to move toward doing that one thing (baby step)Know and feel that you are moving in sync with God, the all-loving and ever-present Love, and you are doing it by reflection (as image and likeness, Gen. 1:26). 

The power of Love itself gives you the gift of grace through spiritual sense. 

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of Godhttps://www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=gift+of+God&t=KJV#s=s_primary_0_1

Or as the Bible in Basic English translates:
... by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God: (Eph. 2:8).

The Time for Decisions, and a Time for No Decisions

Decision-Making ... Not Now!




In the Scriptures, the prophet, Joel (586 BC) expresses the ageless sentiment toward decision-making in his lament: "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision" (3:14). It's a "valley," not a mountain top where you get a clear view. It's down in the shadows in an after shock. This is not the time make decisions -- yet more than likely you are being called upon to do so. https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/joe/3/14/s_879014

"What do you want to do?" is a question that could be coming at you way too fast. Degrees of shock affect our ability to think clearly. We're in the valley, not in the height of noon day seeing. 

For those decisions that cannot be put off, insist on some amount of time alone (or with best trusted person who will not sway you), and prayerfully meditate on this: "...not my will, but Thine be done" (Luke 22:42). It is our Master's words in Gethsemane -- his example of how to decide when in a really tough position or circumstance.

For that must-make decision in early stages of disappointment or heavy grief:

1. Get alone for at least 10 minutes to pray, "...not my will, but Thine be done."

2. Refuse to be easily swayed by those with either good or evil intentions. Hold your ground with what comes to you after prayer.

3. Try not to give a final decision until you feel that peace we've been meditating on each day. If you feel peace you are probably on exactly the right track.

There is no error or mistake, no chance involved when you consciously reflect the Perfect One as His own "image and likeness." What the Infinite Love does, you do by reflection. Declare, therefore, that your decisions are perfect because they mirror the divine Intelligent I AM.

Only make decisions that cannot be delayed. Consult only with a wise individual that you can totally trust. After that consultation, return to prayer, then go with your own feeling. 

Wear your very most comfortable pajamas tonight, and get the perfect pillow under your head -- it's a symbol of comfort and love.
