I’ve discovered that I’m starting to think in twitter sized thoughts. While I find this somewhat hilarious, the reality of it hit me tonight. 140 characters may be enough to send a short shout out to the world. However, 140 characters is usually not enough when pondering God.
For instance, I can post Psalm 46:10 on twitter and still have 96 characters left to spare (you can check, I just did, I like my research). However, to truly dive into the reality of “Be still and know that I am God” much longer than a few seconds and many more thoughts are needed, at least for me they are.
For instance tonight, being still and knowing that He is God intrigues me. He is the God who created the universe. In six days He created the only world I know. He can cause the blind to see and the lame to dance. He can take the worst possible circumstances and experiences and create the most breathtaking beauty from those ashes. And the amazing aspect of it all is that He not only can He does.
How infinitely unbelievable is that?! The Lord of lords and the King of kings delights in dealing gloriously in my life. He delights. He sat down (maybe He stood, I don’t actually know…) before the beginning of time and recorded the things plans He has for me. ME!? I realize He did that for everyone, but so often I forget to apply those promises to my life. The Lord my God cares for me. He longs to give me a future and a hope. In fact those are both within my grasp if I reach out and take them. If I learn to be still and seek His face. If I surrender my watch and ask God to tell me the times. If I stand still long enough for the God who is Love to wrap His arms around me.
And the additional delightful realization is that despite all those ifs listed above, God is still the same. His promises do not disappear at midnight. Quite the opposite in fact-His mercies are new every morning. What an amazing, amazing, amazing God I serve.
I hope you experience His love as well. He has unlimited supply and it can’t be earned. May you recieve all that He has for you this day. Delight in discovering the depths that can’t fit in a status update.
However, I think my next post shall be capture all my thoughts tonight in three short letters, “Wow.” To Him be all the glory.
