Divine Guidance is always present. The challenge is recognizing it and acting on it. It can come through turning within in prayer and meditation, obvious, simple ways. And it can come by paying attention to our outer environment as well. That means taking notice of nature—trees, birds, clouds, weather, animals, and the people around us.
Being mindful of synchronicity, those “seeming” coincidences that are meaningful, is another important way to experience guidance. For example, you are trying to decide what college to attend: “Harvard” or “Stanford,” and a pizza delivery person shows up at your front door wearing a sweatshirt with one word across the front, “Harvard.”
Signs and symbols can also be guides. You find yourself wrestling with whether you should back off from a situation and deal with it quietly, or whether you should become a forceful activist and fight for justice. Sitting at the stop light, you glance at the license plate in front of you and it says, “Mama Bear.” You have your answer, and now you have the choice to trust that answer and take action.
Signs, symbols, synchronicity, prayer, meditation, intuition, and dreams are all ways we can access our Divine Guidance. We let go of our consensus trance, wake up, let go of logic, and look around and within us. We pay attention, seeing, hearing, listening, feeling, and taking note. The answers needed will come, along with an impulse to act.
Each day, let us align ourselves with Divine Guidance, and then watch and be amazed at the amazing results.
Love & Blessings,
Rev. Kathy
