of who is in control.
how easy to loose sight
of whose whisper
and whose hand
ochestrated
the entire
universe
into being.
how easy to forget
I am not God.
one would think that
fact to be quite
solidified in my
mind by this time,
yet still
I forget.
not that I
consciously tell God
that I am taking His place
for the day or even moment...
yet am I not?
you see, I am prone to want to help Him,
especially when someone I love is
experiencing pain of any type,
be it physical, emotional,
spiritual or circumstantial
or mental or that which fits
into no category or runs
between them all.
and also bleeds easily.
and I would take away
the pain of every life
and heart if I could,
for is there not more
than enough pain in this
our broken world?
but that is not how
our
Abba
works.
I tend to take on the hurts
of those around me as if
somehow me hurting or
worrying or controlling
will take their pain away!
that is not how
our
Abba
works.
He. is. so. much. bigger.
But Moses told the people,
"Don't be afraid. Just stand still
and watch the Lord rescue you today.
The Egyptians you see today will
never be seen again.
The Lord will fight for you.
just. stay. calm."
Exodus 14:13-14
He is God and I am not.
He sees what I cannot see.
He knows what I do not know.
and His love for each of us
soars to heights unimaginable
and goes to depths we cannot
begin to comprehend.
and His hand so pierced
pours grace and mercy
over even the most
painful spaces
and darkest
places.
