"It's Not Your Way. It's Yahweh."
Spying this saying or motto stenciled on the back of the car ahead of me this morning reminded me of an earlier saying or catch-phrase I'd seen on the front of a church as I passed by it in a vehicle:
Let Go.
Let God.
My eyes wouldn't let me look away until I was sure I had this one:
It's not your way. It's
Yahweh.
"Yahweh" is an Englishing of the Hebrew for "Lord," and, of course, a pun on "your way."
The similarity between the two sayings is striking. Both catch-phrases promoting God in your life, for sure; both wonderful playing with the language; both transforming the ego-driven secular into the transcendence of the Deity in the flash of an eye.
