He says, "Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10
sometimes i am filled with an intense and incorruptible excitement and vision for the future. for God's work in broad social movements, for how he will use his servants to facilitate global political and economic shifts. i believe he is king of this world and that his plan is radical, thrumming with the resolute intent of spiritual redemption and reconciliation. i believe he works all things for the good of those who love him and for his ultimate glorification. the excitement grips all that i am with a fierce eagerness that i can only be still as i marvel. other times it becomes quiet embers as i write the emails and organize meetings and squint and stare at the nitty gritty which resolutely remain nitty gritty. but it's there, it's always there, and i can sit still always because i can wait upon the sound of marching upon the balsam trees. the sound of heaven rushing as a mighty wind. he is king of the universe and all will bow down, and i will follow as he goes before me.
