I am doing what God has told me to do, but I don't want to, and I am grumbling. The editing process is atrocious and tedious, and
why does it matter anyway? Out of the millions of books currently in
publication, mine will not make any difference.
God,
however, has a different opinion on that subject. This came from an email this
week by Pastor Greg Laurie, James 4:17. "Remember, it is sin to know what
you ought to do and then not do it."
Ouch.
The next morning, the meditation from Living Faith
talked about St. Paul’s conversion. After being knocked off his horse and
blinded by bright light, St. Paul asked, “What shall I do, sir?” Acts 22:10.
I
would not like God to get my attention in the same way.
So, what would you have me do, Lord?
The answer came the following morning in My Living
Faith devotional. Saint Angela Merici, the founder of the
Sisters of Saint Ursula, said, “We must unceasingly believe, hope, and act.”
I do believe. I do hope, but exactly how does God
want me to act? Did he really mean he wanted me to sit hour after hour at the
computer searching out repetitive, misspelled words in a manuscript? Why?
