He Still Reigns

Did you know
That someone died today?
It happened in a breath.
The leaf fell,
The door closed,
The alarm clock rang.
Somewhere
Someone
Is mourning.
All those gold and sunny melodies
Have been dusted with a sheen of gray.
The sun has blinked,
The clock has flickered.
Yesterday they were laughing.
Yesterday you were laughing.
Or sulking.
Or sad.
Today there is sorrow dripping from the sky;
Today there is sorrow in tiny raindrop capsules.
God was in the sun of yesterday.
Of course He was.
Obviously.
But is He yet here
Right here
In the rain?
In these gloomy days and darkened skies,
He is still there.
He is very much there.
Perhaps His touch is tinged with something other than what you were awaiting,
Perhaps He is fulfilling a purpose you could never comprehend.
But for all you do not know,
Know this:
God is still here.
He is still the same.
Your circumstances may have changed--
But not God.
Not Him.
Even in your pouring rain,
He
Still
Reigns. 🍂
