Just Watch

imageI know that God is always working, never sleeping, never lazy. He is not loligagging about on Sunday morning with coffee, and paper, and slightly crooked reading glasses while He waits for the Mrs. to make His over-easy eggs. I know that God is ever loving; He is not standing back and pointing fingers, consternation in His eyes, glaring at my paltry attempts of goodness or rightness or simply being honest. I know that God has purpose, and plan, and wisdom for those who seek. He is not willy-nilly sending lightning bolts or sickness or creating obstacles for us to overcome and yet those things come. Somehow, they still come.

I know that God is good and He is mystery and love and light and strength and depth and joy and I cannot comprehend how I can know these things and yet feel the awful dread begin to rise, like a knotted up stomach dawning like the sun, growing hotter, bigger, faster.  It’s as if my head and heart just aren’t on speaking terms when one knows that God is good and one is faced with fear, and weakness, and yes, yes, a faltering, failing, knee-weakening anxiety. And what must have I done to deserve this fear and yes, yes, this faltering, failing, knee-weakening anxiety?

My thoughts toss around like a toy boat in a whirl pool, and I question imageeverything I’ve thought so far. And I wish that God would speak to me, and comfort me, and tell me I am on the right path, the right track, not lagging in the passing lane or stalling in the turn with broken blinker, without brakes. I ask God to show me what He’s up to, what He’s planted, what will grow, and where I’ll go. If I only knew what He was thinking. And speaks to me, He does, with gentle, prodding words that are a healing soothing balm that seals the cracks in my weary little soul. He says in words that only my heart can hear,

“Just watch.”

And peace settles in like the dust, and my heart is calmed like the moonbeam shadows on a cool clear night. God’s voice, softer than a whisper, louder than the ocean, restores my faith, bandages my broken places, sparking deep-rooted joy that only comes riding on the waves of His mercies.

imageHis voice, His words. his Words  created the world, His words  stilled the storm, his words written in His Book, His words spoken in my heart. There is unspoken power in His words. Unending Grace. Indefatigable hope.

    of course like your web site but you need to test the spelling
    on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it
    very bothersome to tell the truth then again I’ll definitely come again again.

    I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog.
    Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
    Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to
    see a great blog like this one these days.

  637. Let the hottest girls fuck you uninhibitedly during phone sex. You can also watch them live on your screen while they talk to you at no extra cost. This is hot cam show entertainment at the highest level.

  638. That’s why it’s all the more important to us that you are well informed! But Cam2Cam is not everything and you should also take a closer look at the other free live mature sex cams. For example, you can record the camsex shows with the sexcam recorder and even control a dildo live in the chat with the cam girl!

  733. Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from
    someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  747. Hi there! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone!
    Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward
    to all your posts! Keep up the fantastic work!

  753. Superb layout and design, but most of all, concise and helpful information. Great job, site admin. Take a look at my website 94N for some cool facts about Cosmetics.

  785. An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I believe that you need to publish more about this subject
    matter, it might not be a taboo subject but usually folks don’t talk about these topics.
    To the next! Kind regards!!
