In the midst of the rising waters, I cried out to You. But instead of evicting the storm You declared, “Behold, I am changing the landscape. I am washing away the deadwood, and debris of the past. I am peeling back the top layer of depleted soil. I am softening the hard ground. I Am the living water, and my grace is sufficient for you.”
As I looked for a means of escape, I found the main road had been washed away, and once again I cried out to You. But instead of placing my feet on dry ground You declared, “Behold, I am cutting off the old routes. I am leading you in a new direction. I Am the way, and my grace is sufficient for you.
As I began to ascend the mountain side, I found the forests ablaze with fire, and for a third time I cried out to You. But instead of extinguishing the flames, You declared, “Behold, I am burning away the brush that chokes off new growth. I am replenishing the soil with life giving minerals. I Am the holy fire, and my grace is sufficient for you.
And slowly my heart began to see that what I had been viewing as calamity, was actually the change I had been praying for. And little by little, I learned to step upon the rock amidst the rushing waters. To listen for Your voice instead of looking for a marked trail. And to allow the rain of Your presence to sustain me in the middle of the smoke and flames.
Only You can make a way where there seems to be no way.
You are I Am, and Your grace is sufficient for me!
