I know I've just begun to scratch the surface of who God is... but man, He must be so good. Because here I am, feeling guilty and trying to run into my turtle shell... but you know what? Even when I try to escape Him, I can't... He's so good that He doesn't let me get away. Thank you, Jesus, for that. I was talking with a friend on Tuesday night, and we realized that there is SO MUCH about God that we just don't know. So we decided to ask Him to show us... to just show up in our lives in whatever way He might choose. And then we agreed to tell each other about it. And you know what I'm realizing? God is everywhere. Even when you want to haul up in your little shell, He's still everywhere. We can't get away from Him... thank God.
Tonight was one of those times. I was walking from my car to the house, and it was night time and the stars were out... everywhere. I just stood in the driveway and I stared... and again, the still small voice speaks. Here's what He said...
"Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these?
He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name,
by the greatness of His might, and because He is strong in power, not one is missing.
Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel,
'My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God'?
Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:26-31)
And this is the God who loves us...
