Each and Every Day We Need God

Everyday holds so many struggles

as we navigate this sea of life.

Many of these are within

where we wonder what to do

with this worry and that,

the people who we rub elbows with

and all their needs

and how to effectively be with them.

Navigating differences of opinion

and differences in religion

and differences of all kinds

and what makes up humanity 

in all the complexness

that makes up each one of us.

And we are all thrown in together

like a pot of soup.

And I've had some soup

with so many different ingredients

thrown in and the taste 

is just wonderful.

You can have lots of differences

when the main base is flavored so good.

I don't know about you

but without a doubt I need 

the wisdom and love of God

to make any sense of anything at all.

He is the Master Chef.

He knows how to work in this and that

to bring out the sweetest flavors

for all to enjoy.

He is an aroma so divine

and He is a taste 

that nothing else can compare to.

He longs for us to partake of Him

in the complexity of all we encounter.

Some things are so complex,

He knows what you need

to overcome it and He pours Himself in

to that situation as you ask of Him.

Surely, most assuredly, He will come.

Let Him have His own way.

Let Him take out the ingredients 

that are harmful 

and let Him stir your heart

and eliminate the pride 

and make you salty 

and tasteful 

and a good aroma

for all to enjoy.

Don't let the hardships of life

make you lose sight of Him.

Instead, let it thrust you toward.

Ever be mindful of Him

in all He says.

It's worth waiting on Him

before you speak or move.

Everyday.
