We are surrounded by peddlers of needless wares.
That seems why everyday is laced with tension and frustration and exceeding resistance.
We are wired to listen to God's voice, but it is oh so hard to detect in a world so dulled and transfixed on its own merit.
The music of the mystery that is God is our heart's desire and--when we hear it--it is like breakthrough of the sun amid the storm clouds. The rainbow appears.
What if this life is really an exercise in strengthening for the journey of eternity? Now that's a thought for a Friday the 13th.
Every moment we spend pondering the music of the mystery of God is a moment of strengthening for whatever is ahead, this life or the next.
So the peddlers of needless wares are a distraction, a tune that interferes with the powerful music. Can you pick out the peddlers of distraction in your day? Can you grant them less attention today?
The beauty of the music that is your strengthening is playing even now.
