Tender words...

There are moments in life where screaming is required. Perhaps a sports match, or to get someone's attention who is far away.  Then there are moments where a simple whisper, just below our "inside voice" level, is required.  At times God is so close, He just whispers. As far as humans go, we are usually marveled by spectacular things and signs.  Children and adult alike are drawn to the colorful dance of fireworks despite them having no real purpose but to entertain. We like when God speaks in loud, obvious ways such as through miracles and prophecy.  Yet, in His sovereignty and wisdom, sometimes says absolutely nothing, a whisper at best.  This especially becomes difficult when needing direction, wondering what step to take next.  Today, Ps. Paul Webb gave an example of one time, when he was young, that a prophet came to his church and he felt left out because nothing "special" was said, and felt like reaching and grabbing the man to say something; I've been there plenty. Felt that way today, ironically, as Ps. Stewart walked by me a couple times during a special moment in our chapel time. Nevertheless, God's presence was undeniable.  Some words that have brought comfort to me, and Ps Webb mentioned them during his example, is that, I am where I need to be.  No need for direction right now, just continue en route, until the time comes for future directions.
