My teacher used to ask “If God is nearer than hands and feet, closer than breathing, where are we going to find him?” Think about it. If God is nearer than hands and feet, closer than breathing where does that mean God is? Now we human beings tend to look outside ourselves for everything. Our happiness, our security, our self worth, you name it, we believe it is outside of ourselves. “Somewhere in the outside world that’s where I’m going to find it. There’s no way I can find it within myself”. We also tend to do the same with God. We look for God outside of ourselves. But the Kingdom of Heaven is within. If we could ever stop chasing the world, slow down, both in body and in mind, and sit still we’d be surprised at the results.

As I read this month’s page from 30 Days of Metaphysics and Miracles, I was reminded that if God is nearer than hands and feet or better yet within, so is our answers, and all of our desired situations.

I was out working with my gutter and window business and it started to rain. It was pouring real hard. I don’t know, why but I told myself, “man it would be so cool if it stopped raining when I get to the peak of this roof.” I kept on walking, taking large steps, like I was enjoying being out there in this storm. Actually on some level I think I was. And then, to my surprise, just a few seconds later, when I got to the peak, it stopped raining. I could not believe it. I stood there trying to understand what happened. Then the sun came out and surprised me even more. The roof had a steam rising up off of it from the sunlight and the water. I sat down, there on top of the roof, tripping, trying to understand what happened.
This was just the first time I made it stop raining. I know it sounds crazy to say it that way, but you know what I mean.
I began to analyse what happened during such times. I came up with this. If you can lightly decide something is going to happen, not really care if it happens, not think about how it will happen, nor think about whether it will happen or not, not even think about it afterwards, and walk confidently in that direction of it happening, you may be surprised at the results.
