5 The sun rises and the sun sets;
panting, it hurries back to the place
where it rises.
6 Gusting to the south,
turning to the north,
turning, turning, goes the wind,
and the wind returns in its cycles.
7 All the streams flow to the sea,
yet the sea is never full;
to the place where the streams flow,
there they flow again. (Ecclesiastes 1:5-7 CSB0
Our little worlds rotate around us inside of the much bigger turning of the world at large, the universe and then heavn itself.
We are but this infintesimal spec within all of that.
However, when our world turns up side down, we can only see our infintestimal spec. It then encompasses everything else.
This is hitting very close to home as within the span of a few hours yesterday all my little plans came to a screeching halt. My world became very small and very focused on two different situations I could only watch unfold from a great distance.
When these things happen we have one choices; trust God, or not.
This morning as I wait to hear back from literlly an ocean away on these situations there is nothing I can do, but pray. It is one thing to be close at hand and take part in a situation. But especially for a father and husband who desires to be there and ”work things out”, sometimes we simply can’t. It is easy to feel very lost.
I spent quite a lot of time last night just sitting and worrying. Knowing there was nothing I coudl do. Prayer did not come easy. It does not this morning. But I am trusting in God and knowing that the Spirit hears the groaning of my heart and s interceds for me.
