The lessons today from C. S. Lewis and Oswald Chambers both speak to a similar issue. Lewis writes of being “collaborators in creation” and Chambers of getting into “God’s stride.”
Chambers writes: “We fix on the individual aspects of things; we have the viion – ‘This is what God wants me to do;’ but we have not got into God’s stride.”
Lewis writes: “When we act from ourselves alone – that is, from God in ourselves – we are collaborators in, or live instruments of creation….”
Both collaborating and getting into the stride of another require work on my part, and more importantly, some level of surrender. Surrender is not a popular word, but it sure comes up a lot in the spiritual context. Hmm!
It occurs to me...
