Unimaginable

When I was a child growing into adulthood, I thought I could imagine everything that life could offer.  I had examined the evidence supporting my position.  I had traveled around the world.  I was living in multiple cultures, experiencing life's highs and lows.  Speed, indulgence, and variety were natural parts of my life journey.  What more could there be?
Four decades later, the only thing I can imagine with confidence is the limits of my imagination!  There is so much more to life.  Cultures are filled with endless possibilities and experiences.  Simple people rarely are.  Opportunities appear within reach when you least expect it.  The very idea that I could imagine what might happy in the future, or even in the moment at hand is filled with arrogance, ignorance, and pride.  At best, I can see the moment at hand.
I am not the first to make this mistake.  Far too often, organizations, leaders, and individuals blind themselves.  They refuse to see the moment at hand, looking through filtered glass shaped from their fears, uncertainties, and doubts.  They look at the future through a framework shaped by the limits of personal journeys.  If they cannot imagine the possibilities then they do not exists.  One even tried to solve a threat to his lively hood by offering to bribe God. 
To each I would echo a wise man's words from yesterday; “Why, that's unthinkable-trying to buy God's gift!  You'll never be part of what God is doing by striking bargains and offering bribes.” (Acts 8.21)  There is more to life.  Anything is possible.  Everything is within reach.  With God, you can do the impossible.
Yesterday's battles and news extracted a toll from my soul.  Part of me wants to know what today will be like, boundaries and all.  There is a something comforting about knowing the limits and possibilities.  This does not reflect your life or mine.  God invites us into the unknown with the dawn.  We are invited to walk with Divinity, experiencing the present without knowing.  Hope is here to guide us into the unimaginable.
