I sit quietly in the darkness of the night. No one is close by. No sounds can be heard. It is a place of total solitude. Me and my God need to chat about some matters and this was the idea that He gave me. I feel like Elisha when he realized that God was truly found in the quietness. There I am, a small pile of organized atoms, sitting inside the gigantic universe. The small voice is clear and direct, open the Bible to Ecclesiastes, then Matthew, the Job. I flipped through the pages. I am following the thoughts of the King of the universe.
I wind up in Genesis and there ends my study. Funny, but the topic of the study isn’t what I want you to go away with, rather the process. I want God so bad that I can not let go of trying to understand what He is to me and my life. He is showing me to trust in Him completely—both in the study and through events.
While singing Amazing Grace, I realized something, God has been good to my lineage. Just be alive is proof that God doesn’t let go of me. My country fought wars for freedom and survived. My family went through illness, racism, Great Depression, relocation, etc, and survived. And here I am. A product of challenges. And my story isn’t unique, every person on the planet shares something similar to me and they made it on this planet. And you know what? We made it. So I am going to continue to hold on to a God that has held on to the human race since the beginning. I recommend the same to you.
