Not really.
It was about Acts 20.
But you know how sometimes God can speak through totally unrelated things to tell you what He wants you to hear?
Today was one of those days.
I still have a lot of unanswered questions about the devastation in Haiti. I still can't understand it. Probably never will. But God wanted me to know today that He has it all under control. He has the entire world in his grip.
I couldn't focus on the sermon. I kept having random Bible verses come into my head.
There were two that wouldn't leave me alone:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. [Proverbs 3:5]
Be still and know that I am God. [Psalm 46:10]
I still don't know why this is happening, or why it's happening in the country I love more than any other. But I do know that what seems to be chaos is actually under complete control.
It's so easy for me to overlook the fact that this world is a fleeting moment.
