He is such a disposable
God. We move Him aside, set Him on
shelves, distance Him to a once a week nod, cast Him to the trash as rubbish,
or line Him up on a rack with every other god option. We have no idea what we are dealing with. He saves the prize, the intimacy of His
heart for those who are curious and hungry and desperate. Too often that is a small audience that
looks foolish to others. But for
those who have tasted, truly tasted, the appetite increases, the fascination
flames, the passion for Him blazes even through the dark nights of the soul and
the dry deserts of the struggle.
This I know: He is with you. He is for you. He is woven into the fiber of the
earth, the vastness of the stars, the purpose of the universe. He set it into being and is attentive
to every tiny thing that tugs your heart.
He IS peace. He IS a strong tower. He IS the one who can guide you through
the challenges if you will give Him room and time to do it His way.
Fear will trip us up
every time. Spend whatever time
you need in His presence, in His word, in conversation with Him to remember His
power, to refresh yourself with His story, to get your heart back in touch with
the One who is fighting for you.
