Learning Lately

Be Still.

I don't understand God. I don't understand how you want me to stand here watching the tornado approach. The destruction. The wind. The terror. The unknown.

I don't understand.

Which is why you find me cowering and screaming WHY does there have to be a tornado?? WHY not sunshine? Blue sky?

And God gently whispered.

"Child. Be Still does not mean Stand Still. By all means, MOVE. Go. Follow me. Don't watch as the tornado picks you up and throws you. Do something. And in the middle of it all be still. My inexplicable peace and hope in the middle of the tornado is what being still is."

Oh.

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits.And in His Word, I hope.

~Psalm 130:5
