Such strong words….roar and clamor. These words provoke feelings of anxiety. But I am again impressed with God’s power. And we are calmed by our faith in His power. His great power gives us confidence to face challenges in our lives and in the life of our community.
Not only did God create the roaring seas, he can quiet the roar. “You visit the earth and water it abundantly; you make it very plenteous.”
Can we even hear our clamor? So do we need to be heard so badly that we sometimes not see enthusiasm as clamor? Again I think of quiet, and thoughtfulness.
Here is the recognition that God’s power has brought us all that we need to care for our flocks, our community. During this Lenten time of renewal of faith, good works, prayer, and sacrifice, I feel God’s strength supporting me. God is with us.
As God stills the roaring, he prepares the earth for Spring and Resurrection.
