Rainforest

It is 5:30 in the morning.

And I have realized something wonderful:
God is still God whether it is 1am and your day is done and over and heading to bed or it is 3:30am and your alarm is going off because you have to be at work at 5am to run an experiment. It doesn't change who God is.

God is still God whether I am an undergrad at Hope College or a grad student at Michigan State University.

God is still God whether I am alone and unsure or I am surrounded by friends and comfortable.

It does not matter the path that I am on, the rocks and potholes in the pavement, or if there is pavement at all. There is one Truth, and that is that there is one true God, and He reigns. Period. The rest is just noise. And the beauty of it is that we can get caught up in the noise and get stressed out, or we can listen for the melody hidden beneath it all. A melody called "Redemption." It is a love song written in the rainforest.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. -Ps 73:26
