God,
I just don’t know–
everything seems unstable
We long for leadership
Security
We would like someone
to set us up
to go
like grand leader
or perhaps a master mechanic
It reminds me of when the Hebrew people
just wanted a King
to swoop in and fix everything
and they got David
who was kind of an Ass
God’s ass, but still
God you know
that we know
that there is no perfect leader
to save us right now
that it is time to take
responsibility
and start tending
things ourselves
And maybe
that is why we are so
scared
confused
tired
We would rather be on
auto-pilot
But we are not robots
And the God created us
in a Garden
Growing slowing
and differently
@joynessthebrave “you are not a machine. you are more like a garden. you need different things on different days. a little sun today. a little water tomorrow. you have fallow and fruitful seasons. it is not a design flaw. it is wiser than perpetual sameness. what does your garden need today?”
God teach us to
think
listen
respond
Help us to tend
what needs to be tending
we pray.
Amen
