a Stirring

It was hot today. Hot. I was on the move a lot, walking from place to place to get some errands done, sweating in the humidity. I got to a corner and had to stop a bit to wait for traffic to thin before I could cross the street.

And just then I felt it. A breeze. I hadn't noticed it before, in my rushing here and there.

As I stood and enjoyed the slight stirring of air, catching my breath, I started thinking. God is also all around me, like air. His Spirit is always moving. But a lot of times, I'm not aware of it. I'm so busy running, accomplishing, pushing ahead. And I wonder where God is, why He is so absent. When the problem is really mine. All I need to do is make time to pause and become aware of Him.

He is even more refreshing than the breeze today. And that felt pretty wonderful.
