What God Wants

There was a time when my spiritual life pretty much consisted of me clenching my fists and shouting up at the sky, "What? What do you want from me? Sheesh! What? What?"

I don't do that so much any more. (The Nice Doctor says we're all better now.) But, well, yeah, I do still spend a fair amount of spiritual energy just scratching my head and saying, "Gee...I wonder what it is that I should be doing?"

Do you ever do that?

Today I stumbled across this. It is from Isaiah 43:10, Contemporary English Version (emphasis mine):

I want you to know me,

to trust me,

and understand

that I alone am God.

Does that help you any? It does me. Well, no, it doesn't really tell me any specifics, but it does tell me that God wants me to know, wants me to trust, wants me to understand.

It tells me that God is rooting for me.

I like that.

Yeah.

I like that.
