Waiting on God for the deeper truth
I was out in the mountains hiking in quite a remote area when I saw a piece of gear on the ground to the side of the trail. This was a place where only a handful of people might travel in any given year, and I thought certainly no one would come back looking for it. It also occurred to me that I could put the item to good use, and so, with no more consideration than that I put it in my pack and carried on.
Except, a little way up the trail I caught myself thinking, “It’s not stealing, or breaking a commandment; you just found it; it’s okay.” Hmmm. That made me pause and question this justifying thought in prayer.
What I find in situations where I’m justifying something, is that there is often some deeper truth at play, which God, divine Mind, is nudging me to be attentive to.
