Many of you who read this blog know of my present unemployment situation. The following comes from this season of life where we are living with uncertainty and yet with confidence in God. (Though it is sometimes shaken)

A GOD MOMENT

Waiting, waiting
Looking and listening,
A phone call, an email
Some kind of sign that I am in the process,
That God is at work –
Behind the scenes,
In the dark.

Isn’t that place – the dark –
Where God does His best work?
A growing fetus,
A planted seed,
A dead Jesus.

But nothing, only silence.

Where is the contraction to push out the child?
Where is the rain to water the soil?
Where is the angel to move the stone?

I don’t need an answer
I just need to know that behind the emptiness of this season
There is a purpose being fulfilled,
A plan being accomplished.

Where there’s a plan, there’s hope
That this is just a season.
It too shall pass.
It awakens a deeper faith
That will trust God for one more day.
