My heart is all over the place today. How can a human being fit that many feelings into one head? I’d like to say it’s all hormonal. It would make it so much easier to think it’s all my imagination. Some of it is. But for the most part, with all that is going on in this world, I just wish God would push the pause button for a minute. I was just thinking about how human beings can be so innovative in their cruelty. Up until today I never quite understood why God stopped all those people from building the Tower of Babel that could reach all the way to heaven. Now I know. To keep all the crazy people out!
So, where do we find peace in this world? First, put your phone down and turn off the tv. “But there are people SUFFERING!” Yes. People are ALWAYS suffering. I don’t need a reporter to tell me when to be outraged by the insufferable inhumanity towards each other. I can pray for God to bring everyone quiet. That’s right, quiet. That sound you heard when you were a kid laying on your back on the lawn on a warm spring day, listening to birds, feeling the slight breeze on your skin, and closing your eyes because you felt calm…
I wondered why God wanted me to be completely alone when I turned 52. This is why. Because talking about all of this pain and anger with another human being will only bring more anxiety. HE knew I needed to be quiet. “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10. He’s got this, so i don’t have to. I think that’s the best bit of advice I’ve heard all day…
