Singles Greater Vision

A single lonely bird hovered over a submerged world. Below her were the results of the catastrophic flood. There was nothing to be seen but water. The world below her was desolate and seemingly without a future. No where could she find a place to hold on to set down her tiny foot. She found no rest.

Yet the dove that fluttered around purposely was less lonely than she appeared to be. Noah--his name means "he who will bring rest"--had not forgotten you. "He's waiting for your return". When the bird came, she found an outstretched hand, ready to take into the safety of the ark. Together they were on their way to a new future. The submerged earth would be habitable again.

We can be compared with this dove. Sometimes we feel lonely and forsaken. We flutter around in a world that increasingly offers less to hold on to in every way. We see little hope for humanity. Spiritually and emotionally we find no rest.

Yet there is someone who cares about us, who watches closely over each and every individual: GOD! Through him we can find rest in spite of the catastrophes that harass the world. He offers us a place to stand, and hope, even in an apparently lost world. He offers a new beginning to those of us who return, trust and believe in him. You just Stand!
