Made a discovery while noticing random items around my desk sitting on the window sill and the edge of my desk this morning. I was admiring the sky and little layer of snow and then Bingo! There it was.
Sitting on my window sill there is a little saying page-turner thing, that I love to turn to the next page each morning… most of the time it gives me quite a chuckle. This morning it said something that made me think about our world and all the corruption evident in politics.
“It’s only unethical if you get caught.”
That sure is relevant today.” My next thought was, “Why is it that politicians can get away with unethical acts, they seem to be exempt from the laws?” It is so screwed up, and then my thoughts began to spiral.
But, before things can get out of hand, I notice the beautiful light outside and start thinking about all the beauty that God places outside for us to see. In the next moment, I think “That kerosene lantern makes a wonderful warm light.” Then my eyes drift down and I see my bible laying right there. And a revelation ensues.
Someone already knows ALL of what we do!
If it is
“unethical”
then IT IS SIMPLY “UNETHICAL”
and
GOD ALREADY KNOWS.
God Works In Wonderful Ways, doesn’t He? Remembering this simple fact calms my worries about the government and politics all around me. I can let it all go and enjoy rendering the scene in my little artist bubble where birds sing and butterflies flutter around in a field of beautiful flowers. It is all in His hands. I am going to do this ink sketch again “in pencil” today, to just let this thoughtfully sink in. Besides, I love to draw in pencil anytime, and I could use the practice. Haha.
