In the psalms there is mention of the river of God. The river that provides the life flow for all of us to join with. In looking at a river we see that in the center of it there is a flow that moves onward with consistency and with a natural force effortless seemingly. How well are we participating in the center of our lives whereby there is this same consistency and natural and effortless flow? As we open our eyes to how we can participate in the central flow of our lives this can occur. This occurs when we simply acknowledge the people closest to us and in the situations we find ourselves where we can acknowledge the central part we play in participation with others. The central part that is ours alone in concert with others that provides the life flow through all the situations that we find ourselves in. Here is the glory of God increased on earth with us included!
Do you have a need?
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Psalm 121
In times of need there is a place to orient to that brings us into a place that can hold us with a sense of calm and possibility. When it is said I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills we could understand this to mean to come to rest with our hearts and minds in the realization that there is something beyond the level of our hearts and minds. This level or the hills represents the realm from which all things spring. The realm from which all is caused to be. As we actually stop and pause to acknowledge this level also in the realization that our heart and minds can only be aware of so much and that they have to let go or surrender to that which is of the realm of cause the realm of cause that is animating us all. As we so let go we are gifted with the invigoration of life that will lift up our heads even more so in a greater sense of gratefulness for that which does spring from the hills. Here glory is known and glory is given rightly unto the cause of all.
