Power in Kindness

I was really struggling.

The feeling of fear and anxiety was overwhelming, which is unusual for me. I could hear my mind on a loop and it wasn’t a positive one. I had tried to talk to the Lord, but my heart was hard. I didn’t know what to say or do anymore.

I was rushing to work driving in the snow thinking, “I really hope I’m not late”.

Suddenly, a plow pulled out in the road in front of me clearing the path I was just about to take.

I broke.

I didn’t expect to, but I started crying and actually felt my heart soften. In that moment, I knew that God saw me and cared for me. Even an act as simple as the perfect timing of a plow was noticeable to me. It was no coincidence.

My entire demeanor changed the rest of the drive home. One of repentance, praise, and gratitude.

It was the power of the Lord, but not in the sense of a great storm or a dramatic experience.

God’s power was shown to me in His kindness. His thoughtfulness. His attention to detail. He is so powerful that even the most mundane of occurrences can be infused with His Glory.

Now, I won’t say the fear and anxiety completely went away. They didn’t. There was however, a diversion in the current of my thoughts. One that flowed in the direction of peace. Of praise. Of stillness. Of trust.

God still does miracles every day, even if He’s not walking on water. He does however, meet us in every moment. He remembered me when I needed Him.

And He rememers you too.

Until another moment,
