Pain seems to slow time, whether it is physical or emotional. Like everyone else, I have experienced both. When I am enjoying the bright side of life, I may be grateful, but I am not seeking answers. Pain brings on a search for relief...anything to diminish the time spent there. A fix. It is in searching that I find God. He is there, waiting for me. An ointment for my soul.
Psalm 29:1-11 Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth and strips the forests bare, and in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king forever.
11 May the LORD give strength to his people! May the LORD bless his people with peace!
It isn't the shadow of His wing I look for, though I know it is there should I desire it. My comfort comes in knowing that my Redeemer lives and reigns forever. He is still on His throne and so all is well in my soul. All in my world is as He sees fit for the moment. I will praise His holy name.
Job 19:25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
