If you have ever went hiking in the mountains you will agree that every turn can be something new. You keep walking but the wildlife and the scenery are enjoyable. It is always new!
There were moments where I just asked fellow hikers, “Just sit down and enjoy this!” Now the truth was that there was another beautiful surprise that would capture our attention in the next little while. But just stop! Don’t miss this one; it is so beautiful!
Now our life our faith is a walk, a journey, with our God. The very Spirit of God is moving in all parts of the earth – and every human person. God is alive and moving within us. Our task is to pay attention and always ask “Where is God in all of this?”
True to the journey of life there are always ups and downs. We may go through some hard patches of life, some very difficult struggles with believing and trusting in God. There may be moments when we want to give up on the whole God-project. Throw it all in! Quit!
Authentic faith is always a search for the ways that God is moving in our life and through the mess of the world events. You never have God nailed down and under control.
We try to image the very life and spirit of God as a bird. Now, here in Saskatchewan try to control a flock of sparrows! They move and fly where they will move and fly. Every movement of the wings of a sparrow is always a surprise.
Noone controls God.
Search and pay attention.
When the Sunday liturgy is prayed correctly it is always the people of the Church taking a small chunk of the Scriptures and asking, “What does God want to communicate to us today?” It will always be new because God is not stationary and the situation of the world is always on the move.
Faith is always searching for God. Faith is always listening to the movements of God in the life of our country, our family and within our own soul.
How do you know and live with God today?
