Watch

You know that feeling you get sometimes of complete helplessness? You really cannot do a thing but pray. Yet even when you pray, your prayers tend to "bounce off of the walls," so to speak. I think that the whole feeling of "you can't do a thing" is God's way of saying, "trust in me." We are always trying to take matters into our own hands. We cannot do that. I was talking to someone the other night about faith. I used that old analogy of faith being like the wind, you cannot see it, but you feel it. The person described faith as being like a wirlwind of leaves. You can see the shaking up, but you can't see what is shaking it. Wow. Maybe what is shaking up the situations we face isn't at all what we think. Maybe God is causing the wirlwind. It could be His way of saying, "look! I can do all things." We tend to try and make sense of everything we go through. We try to put a logical formula to it. But, to this day, I haven't met anyone who can tell me that everything that they go through and are going through in their life makes sense. I have a tendencey to ask God, "what are you doing now?" He just says, "watch what I can do." When He says He is going to do something totally out of the box I tend to ask, "umm, how do you plan on making that happen?" He says, "watch what I can do." So, what am I learning to do? Take a guess. :-)
