Another day you’re going about your normal business with nothing too exciting ahead of you. In the mundane world in which you exist, you realize it’s time for an eye appointment. You walk into a new place to make an appointment and suddenly you are thrust into what you thought only existed in the movies. A person walks up to you and you lose your breath, all you can think is, "Oh my goodness. I've seen a lot of beautiful people in my life but you ... those eyes ... that hair... your hands... your energy.... Wow I can't think!" They say something like, "How can I help you?" After numerous stuttering attempts they finally ask, "You want to make an eye appointment?" Your experience of life can change in a flash.
There are also experiences in life that we wait for like a trip to visit friends or a far away country. It could be preparation for a wedding or a newborn child. It could be results from a resent test. Whether your experience of life changes quickly or over a long period of time, we cannot deny change is part of life. Change brings about our emotions. Our emotions bring about a physical response. Our physical response determines how others experience us.
Most of us want to be experienced as love, but we often have little to no control of the things that change in our life. So, what can we do with all of our unpredictable emotions that flow through us every day? Where do we turn? Isn’t there something we can always count on that won’t change? Oh, yes, our creator, solid rock, Emmanuel!
Psalm 46:2-3 & 10 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. 10"Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth."
Among the chaos of emotions and change we can be still and know God.
