I am sitting alone at the table, savoring bites of fresh melon from our neighbor’s garden. The air is calm and heavy with moisture from rains past and rains to come.
This is a rare moment, indeed...a cool, quiet morning - IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST, NO LESS! This is the kind of moment when I hear God the best. Everywhere I look - everything speaks of Him: of His creativity and care, of His provision and protection.
What is this? The clothespin on my deck line moved! It is a hummingbird, also enjoying the morning’s refreshment. She hastily sips nectar from our feeder, before zipping off to her business in the trees. I, too, know the moment will soon be over. The duties of the day will press me into action. The commotion of energetic boys will break the silence. The thermometer will rise again.
But, in just a moment, my heart’s faith, strength and thankfulness have been renewed.
“Be still and know that I am God”.
“Be still, my soul”.
