Here In This Moment

"For the waves of death encompassed me,
the torrents of destruction assailed me;
the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.

"In my distress I called upon the LORD;
to my God I called.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry came to his ears.

"Then the earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations of the heavens trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
Smoke went up from his nostrils,
and devouring fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
He bowed the heavens and came down;
thick darkness was under his feet.
He rode on a cherub and flew;
he was seen on the wings of the wind.
He made darkness around him his canopy,
thick clouds, a gathering of water.
Out of the brightness before him
coals of fire flamed forth.
The LORD thundered from heaven,
and the Most High uttered his voice.
And he sent out arrows and scattered them;
lightning, and routed them.
Then the channels of the sea were seen;
the foundations of the world were laid bare,
at the rebuke of the LORD,
at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

"He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of many waters.
He rescued me from my strong enemy,
from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.
They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the LORD was my support.
He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.

-2 Samuel 22:5-20

"It's like you're in a hurricane.

You don't think about the calm that will happen after,

you just see the boat being destroyed in front of you."

-Rachel W.

Rachel clearly depicts the dilemma that occurs when something "out of sorts" is going on in one's life that leads one to stray. When things seem to be going wrong, or out of our control, then we result in acting on "the boat," not His Love or His Long-term Plan.

God Bless that woman.

Christ is incredible; the way He speaks through people is so clear.
