The Sound of Two Fingers Clapping
Take two of your fingers. Now clap them together. You hear that?
Now, take all your fingers and clap them together. A little better, isn’t it?
NOW, take your whole hands and clap THEM together! That’s what applause is all about. And that’s what it is like when you take God into your daily life.
When you clap using only two fingers, that is you trying to do something on your own. It works, but not as well as when you use all your fingers or when you ask others for help.
But when you use all your power – your entire hand – THAT is what it is like when you involve God in what you do. And isn’t that much better?
Let’s say a prayer. Let’s say thank you to God for allowing us the tools to do the job yourself but also giving us the blessing of asking for others, including God, to be a part of our daily life, making it so much better.
