The spiritual life isn’t just about healing, carrying your cross, and confronting your inner demons. When seeking harmony with God in your life, there will be times when you actually feel like you’re floating on the clouds. I think you know what I mean.

Have you ever experienced moments of sublime grace where even the simplest actions seem supernatural somehow? Basic chores become effortless. Your work flows like a breeze, and even heading out to the corner store feels like an adventure somehow. The world around you comes vibrantly alive, and you appreciate nature and people with fresh eyes.

You find the perfect parking space exactly when you need it. You get everything done right on time. It’s kind of like being a superhero cruising effortlessly through life.

Maybe that’s how Adam and Eve experienced paradise. Everything is just right, and everything in its proper place. When you can, enjoy these moments to the fullest and praise God all along the way. He’s the one who makes everything pleasant in your life at that instant. These moments may not last long, but they should be savored. And don’t get sad when these states of higher bliss end – even if they end abruptly.

Keep in mind that a more profound truth is revealed to you during these experiences. Even when you face difficulty, even when you suffer and struggle, you are still on time if you genuinely seek and accept God’s will. The reality is, you enter into heavenly timing – since you are on God’s time. And on God’s time – even if you are hustling to get somewhere – it all seems to fall into place. This took me a long time to understand. And it’s not always obvious until you look back.

Living according to God’s time and in his will involves your:

• State of mind – You make a conscious effort to consider God throughout the day.
• Attitude – Your desire for contact with God is ingrained in you, but not as an obligation.
• Vision – You see things from a different perspective, a heavenly perspective.
• Spirit – This means your spirit communicates with the Spirit of God.

While none of this comes without some effort, it must be possible. The scriptures are very clear about this:

This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
And they shall not teach every one his fellow
or every one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for all shall know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.

Hebrews 8:19-11

Nobody can do this perfectly, but we can all get closer to this state of being.
