Opus 2026-137: Not a Clue

Recently I had a providential encounter, or maybe I should say “almost encounter.”  I am alive and moving because I saw the truck coming through the red light without even slowing down. I saw the truck.  I see the hand of God.

The thought occurred to me that this might be an indication that God still has something in mind for the time I have left on this earth.  Since I have time on my hands I wondered what that might involve.  The answer is a total case of No Clue.

There are times when we can see clearly what God has in front of us.  Other times we might have a glimmer but no long range map.  Frequently we have No Clue.  I tend to think that is the most common experience.  In fact it is the usual path because I am not sure we are always thinking about it.  When you got up to go about your business for today did you wonder what earth changing events you might influence?

I don’t see any path forward where I am going to change the course of world events.  That is nothing new for me and it is probably common for you.  The plain reality is that God is working things together according to His will and He does not need our approval to get it done.  It might be that if we knew the plan we might try to stick our fingers in and mess the whole thing up. 

Be content that our task is to be obedient and live upright lives.  We have influence that we might never think of.  Someone that is totally off our radar might see how we respond to a situation and rethink their attitude.  It might be that we are simply that drop of baking soda that makes the biscuits rise.

Go ahead and question.  Try to figure it out.  On the way to a bigger question mark in your day rejoice in trust for the one who does not need a clue since He wrote the rules.
