Long time comin'...

FEBRUARY 6, 2010

Winter 2010. More flakes have fallen than I can remember in a long time. And while the flakes cause let us say … some disruption … I am still loving the opportunity for stillness. It’s been a long time comin’.
So, today during my opportunity for stillness, I watched the snow flakes fall, and fall, and fall … and I was reminded of the last few chapters of Job. You know, where God responds to Job’s whining and accusations. Beginning in the 38th chapter, I slowly read one phrase at a time. His heart, His will, His sovereignty was there in each word, throughout each phrase, all over each page and I couldn’t help but wonder why we find it so hard to just hear and obey.  He knows where hale is stored and the oceans doorway. He established the order of the stars, moons and planets. He put all things living just where He wanted them, just when He wanted to. The snow flakes continue to fall … there is no end to His power.
