From Amie's Desk
It's 2:42 a.m. and I'm wide awake enough to get up and
dance...or make myself a sandwich....or something. Thoughts are running through
my mind at a hundred miles an hour and they don't settle on any one direction.
Suddenly in the middle of the maelstrom, I find myself singing several
verses of O God, Our Help in
Ages Past. I'm glad to have a shelter and refuge in the midst of the stormy
blast, but what really touches me are the words of verse 3:
Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting, thou art God,
to endless years the same.
It is sobering to think upon the eternal nature of God and consider more of who He is. Human beings cannot really begin to grasp His infinite greatness or otherness. He is apart, but He brings all things together in accordding to His will. He was when there was not, and He will still be when there is not. Whoa. No mountains, no hills, no valleys, no earth nor frame. Wow. A few moments pondering the immensity and eternality of God, can bring about a slight shift of mind.
God, You know.
You know.
You have always known.
You have always been.
Whatever I am thinking about or trying to resolve pales in comparison to who You are. I can't fathom Your changelessness. Thank You for being here with me, regardless of how I feel or what I experience. You are awe-inspiring even as I am here alone, bewildered, and in the shadows. I praise You for your sameness, and I thank You for Your continual presence.
I don't need to be up and moving yet for another 3.5 hours.
