What Are You Responding To

The dancing tree limbs captured my attention as I took my canine companion outside today. Every tree had it’s own little rhythm as it responded to the wind. While I couldn’t see the wind, I saw the evidence of it’s presence. As I got lost in the rhythmic dance of the trees, the whisperer asked a question of me.

Are you responding to that which is unseen?

Or am only reacting to what my eyes can see. To respond to the invisible takes faith.

Are you dancing/moving in response to something you see happening around you? Or do you have enough courage to dance simply based upon that which you can only hear?

  1. Hmmm, thought provoking, Wanda. I love how your posts make me look inside and be honest with myself. Many blessings!

    • After hearing that question, I was stuck examining myself for much of the day. It’s not one of those things I could give just a quick yes to.

    • Being lost into our own rhythm is just what I believe we each have been called to do Jennifer. Everyone responding to master in our unique way.

  4. Wanda, this is such a great question to start my week. Often when I stand by the lake early in the morning, I can hear the wind even when nothing is moving and I do my exercises to that rhythm. We lose so much when we don’t recognize and respond to the unseen. I sometimes wonder if too many of us who are believers end up living the “out of sight out of mind” life. Over the weekend I did some Fall cleaning, and I realized that there was so much stuff that I actually possessed but had not paid any attention or interacted with or responded to for months (even years) simply because they were not in my sight. I am praying today that I will pay attention to what is unseen.

    • Oh I’m guilty of that losing sight and use of things I have in my possession. I straightened up my closet over the weekend and discover summer clothing I had yet to even wear.

  6. Wow Wanda…you make one think! I think I am guilty of responding to my intuitive whispers, sometimes. Then I wonder are they more than my intuition?! Beautiful said! 😀

  7. I love “invisible faith”~when we begin to put faith to work, it becomes “confidence,” and finally, (in its best form), when it becomes fully effective, it is “trust.” This trust, this full measure of faith, is alive and works within our trusting relationship with God, and then we can dance in response to invisible faith! 🙂

    Beautiful thought to start my day Wanda! 🙂
    Blessings and love,
    Denise

  8. I’ve always lived on faith. I even embrace the bad because I know that it will mold me for a challenge or a blessing in the future. God whispers in my ear, enlivens my soul, lift my spirit and I dance to the music that is meant to be heard by no one else but me.
