some rhythms steady,
sure, secure.
(this heart's favorites)
other rhythms having
no pattern
no meter
no form
leave this heart
beating wildly.
(not so fond of these)
yet those times come...
seasons in life when
rhythms and notes and
melodies and harmonies
seem to simply swirl in the storm.
sometimes winds fierce and
howling and relentless
threaten to shatter,
then scatter any sense
or semblance of
rhythmic stability.
and has your heart not
felt that wind?
"...as they sailed across, Jesus settled
down for a nap...but soon a fierce storm
came down on the lake...the boat was filling
with water, and they were in real danger...
disciples went and woke him up, shouting,
"Master, Master, we're going to drown!"
when Jesus woke up, He rebuked the
wind and the raging waves...suddenly
the storm stopped and all was calm...
then He asked them,
"where is your faith?"
the disciples were terrified
and amazed..."who is this man?"
they asked each other..."when He gives
a command, even the wind and waves obey Him!"
Luke 8:23-25
the waves
the wind
bow to His voice.
storms raging cease,
turning chaos to
silence.
and His heartbeat
underlies all.
no storm, no season,
no rhythm flailing
can cause that
heartbeat
to waver.
so hold on,
weary heart,
hold on.
His voice still
sings over you.
songs of deliverance
songs of delight
songs of love unending.
and nothing in all creation
can drown out the song He
is singing still for you and for me.
