How Shall I Know?
How shall I know that God is moving. How shall I know that God
is near? How shall I feel when God has enveloped me with his
presence, and wrapped his Holy arms around my soul? What will be
different within all that is the same? Will my eyes see more clearly,
my ears hear more sharply, my nose savor more easily, my hands feel
more acutely, the bitter be more bitter and the sweet sweeter? Will
the heavens open up with a blast of his breath, or will his movement
be ever so subtle, that it slips past the very senses he gave me?
Will the last piece of the puzzle be at my feet, or the first step of
my journey be to the left instead of the right? How shall I know?
Why did the bullet hit the tree right beside me? Why did my boat
strike a rock and founder just before I reached the falls? Why did I
veer left in my car when I started to veer right? Why did I not get
onto that plane when I so looked forward to the trip? Just what made
me stop in the middle of my busy day and call my father, mother, son,
or daughter? How did I know something was wrong when nothing appeared
wrong? How come my prayer of twenty years ago was answered today?
How did they know that I was going to need that? Who was that person
who took the time to stop and help me? The pastoral message this
morning was pointed right at me, how very odd? How shall I know?
How is it that I just accidentally bumped into a person who I
have been wanting to get to know? How is that somebody knows
somebody, who knows somebody, who can resolve that problem for me?
How is it that I am terrified about how I am going to make my next car
payment, and it works itself out? How is it that one day in despair,
the light of God transgressed my soul, and I felt the lilt of his
hand, and security of his love? How did I know that small voice in my
head was not insanity reaching for me, but God? How is it that God
opens the doors, and I take the long way around? How is it that God
forever calls but my line is busy? How shall I know?
Be still and you will know …
