Greetings Dear Reader,
Often, people will tell us what God thinks of us. They will give us their opinion of what the
Father thinks of our behaviour or attitudes.
They judge us and use God as their hammer. I want to offer a perspective that we do not
hear often enough.
When Elihu is expressing his concern that Job has done some
great wrong that he keeps secret, he explains correctly our relationship to the
thoughts of God. Ponder this
carefully. I have been for days. Elihu says that were the Father to stop thinking
about any of us for even an instant that we would cease to exist.
It is not just that God thinks about us, but that our very
existence is an extension of his thoughts.
Elihu expresses what Paul will write centuries later, “in Him we live
and move and have our being.” This mindset
is the best reason I know of to cease every moment in the crucible of time.
If the idea is to find God in the moment, then the
understanding of every moment is to see that the Father is already in each grain
as it falls through the pinch. He is
there waiting to share it with us as we arrive. He is there sustaining that
moment so that we can find him in it. He
wishes to love us, refine us, and guide us into the next moment and every one
that follows until the journey back to him is complete.
When I think that God is distant or even absent, I need to
remember how seminal to my faith is the understanding of this truth. In the crucible of time, every moment is one
in which I am sustained by the thoughts of God whether I acknowledge it or
not. I am kept and loved by his constant
regard of me. So are you Dear Reader.
As fellow dwellers in the crucible of time, I urge you to
find as much in every moment as it burns away everything that is not good. Only that which is in harmony the love of the
Father will remain. Seeking the Father
in each moment can further this so drastically.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

home owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
