All is In Divine Order Even When it Doesn't Look Like It
"Take this economic crisis -- while it may not match our preferences for how we'd like it to be, it's the perfect outcome to expect when you have a small number of ego-centric people hungry for power and run by greed making the decisions and policies while everyone else casts a blind eye of ignorance and complacency." Brad Swift from meditation
While participating in John Randolph Price's 40 Day Prosperity Plan that includes meditating each day and then journaling, the above statement flowed from my pen. Upon reflecting on it later, it felt true and worthy of expanding upon.
For years I've used the affirmation, "All is in Divine Order so I flow with what's flowing," especially during those times that it didn't look or feel like Divine Order was present. Now, I see that those times may have gone against the grain of my preferences, but were consistent with the thought and emotional patterns that preceded the times.
And if we are not awake and aware, it is easy to perpetuate the undesired conditions through worry, doubt, fear, and lack-based thinking. The realization that "all is in Divine Order" is a perfect point from which to pivot to a new reality, perhaps even to a reality that is both in Divine Order and more consistent with our preferences, especially when those preferences are aligned with the greater good of all concerned.
=============
Applying it to Daily Life
=============
While this may be an interesting observation and thought process, how do we apply it to our everyday lives?
May I suggest the following:
1. Notice a time or situation that may not appear to be in Divine Order or that doesn't match with your preferences. (If you can't find a good one to work with, let me know. I have plenty to share.) Maybe it's something as simple as rushing around to get yourself to work, then walking out to the car only to find one of your tires is flat.
2. Now, you might ask, could a flat tire that's going to make you late for work be in Divine Order? And that's exactly what I invite you to do -- ask this question of your Inner Guidance. See if you can ask it, not from a place of upset and frustration but with an authentic sense of curiosity.
"Wow, this sure doesn't look or feel to be in Divine Order. So, I'm curious, how might this be in Divine Order?" In other see if you can move to a stance where you're authentically engaged that it IS in Divine Order and your connection to the Divine will help you discern in what way that's true.
3. Then be open to receiving input. As possible answers come, check in to see which feel most empowering, and don't be surprised if there's more than one, since often Divine Order is ready to serve us in multiple ways.
Here are some possible responses to the above scenario:
"This is God's not so subtle way to suggest I slow down and pay more attention. The car was pulling to that side yesterday on the drive home. If I hadn't been in such a rush, I would have known to check the tires."
Or
"This is God suggesting to me to learn to be more comfortable in reaching out for support from others. I know I could still make it to work on time by simply calling Joe to swing by and pick me up. Now, the question is, "will I allow another to support me like that?"
Or
"This is Divine intervention suggesting to me that today is not a day to work. That I've been putting in a lot of overtime and it's time for a bit of rest and rejuvenation time. I'll go inside and call AAA to have the tire fixed and take a personal day for me. This way, I'll be much more effective in my work upon returning."
Remember, to look for that feels most aligned with your values most life enhancing, 'cause in this grace-filled world of Divine Order, life is rigged in our favor. Another focal point to include is what points you to the 'greater good of all concerned.' Follow that guidance and see where it leads.
