when I read the account
of a man in drunken rage
dragged his wife across the room
by her hair until it is ripped
from her head
then he casts her out of the house
Thanks to the neighbour
who is sheltering her
and then contacts
the poor lady's pastor
who is appalled
to see her huddling in a fetal position
with half of her scalp missing
As I reflect over the incident
I rejoice that she's helped
;she can turn to someone nearby
Her neighbour is like a true friend
who sticks closer than a husband
I tool have been promised a faithful Friend
who stays closer than a brother
In retrospect
Though I cannot see God
I can see where He has been
I can see deep goodness
in the kind neighbourly acts
embedded in the whole episode
and the arm of God
through the prompt presence
of the pastor at such unsociable hours
--it is these things that are the sound
of God to my ears
Help me,O Lord, to see Your invisible hand
behind every circumstance
working out Your plan and purpose
Open my eyes
that I may behold the wonders
in the ordinary
and the mundane.
