For God says,
“At just the right time, I heard you.
On the day of salvation, I helped you.”
On the day of salvation, I helped you.”
Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.
Yeah, I know, it has been that kind of
year....The kind where each day can feel like 86,400 breaths that
you're barely catching. And don't blink because when you look up it's
onto the next thing. The next sound bite. The next snap. The next 140
characters. The next missed call. The next moment reverberates
reckless in your already shattered ears. But who can hear it? When
the call resounds within your heart to go, to love, to hold, to
serve, to be present now...who can hardly even hear it?
It's been the kind of year when unprecedented things happened in the celestial heavens, and earth
shattering events shook our souls; when the headlines appeared in
your backyard and you knew the names of the victims; and you wept,
because who can stand to bare much more of this? We all teetered
on the fence between sleeping standing up and awakening to our
current reality. This is where we must take pause. We get this one
wild moment when our two hands swing straight upward and our souls
crash together in one solid stroke. When in our darkest hour, we have
a chance at awakening to a brand new thing. Will we not perceive it?
