God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at the break of day.
Psalm 46:5
I am awakened by the wind whistling through my open bedroom window. It is still dark outside and the rain is falling, falling, falling......
I get up and go downstairs to make a cup of tea because I cannot sleep. So many things seem to be shaking in the wind.....so many thoughts and concerns swirl in chaos in my heart and mind.
I look out the front window and the little tree is being blasted by bouts of sporadic wind. The leaves flip so their dull colored backsides are shown. But she is steadfast and instead of shaking, she sways with the currents of cold misty air.
I've been watching her for 2 weeks in that little tree. A mama Mourning Dove bravely made her nest on a low branch just 10 feet from our front porch. And on those 2 little white eggs she sits, and sits, and sits. It's only when I walk too close that she takes flight with a whimper, and watches from a nearby tree. I've been watching. I've been seeing her steadfastness, even in the storms. I've been noticing how she sways instead of shaking......and how she stays instead of stirring.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
He lifts His voice,
the Earth melts.
The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Psalm 46:6-7
And now there is a hush..........shhhhhhhhh
It's quiet now
The sun is rising
And all that I hear is the cheerful chirps of those who have weathered the storm.
BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD
Psalm 46:10
