And God speaks out of a whirlwind.
To his child who lost 10 children.
To his child who lost his health.
To his child who lost his community.
He sent a whirlwind not a spa.
And God asks Job five dozen questions!
"Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge...Job 38:2;
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?"
Have you ever commanded the sun to rise and the morning stars sang?
What am I doing in this little life of mine?
Do I live with the awareness of a very Present God holding all things together, even me.
Do I live with expectations for God to show up in soft whispers to a broken world.
Do I believe that the abundant life of John 10:10 holds expectations of my own thinking.
This is A God Who shows up in a whirlwind to a hurting, broken son of God.
Nothing soft about this.
Help me to see the reality of what stirs in the Whirlwind of my own soul this very day.
Help me to see my own sin of demandingness that YOU come through for me.
Give us eyes to see and ears to hear the Sound of your Voice from the Whispers to the Whirlwinds and all in-between.
