the past couple of days have been busy...i've been caught up in real life and trying to simply keep my mind right...focused on what is good and right...focused on what i can control and trusting for all of the other things to come to fruition in due time.
on tuesday morning, over breakfast, i was chatting with someone about what i've noticed so far in my reading of the Quran. i mentioned that so much was focused on repeating the necessity of worshipping only one God- the true God. i've noticed that the Quran repeats things alot...specifically the things that i have thought to myself were fairly obvious. assumed.
tonight, i am sitting here...after briefly chatting with a dear friend who is going through something so tragic. something so great. i couldn't even for a second think of my own trials because she is bearing a burden for her and her family that is overwhelming. after chatting, i was overwhelmed with this reminder..."there is no one greater than God." obvious. assumed. but so easily forgotten...so easily overlooked. so overshadowed by our circumstances. but when realized...it is overwhelming.
i am in awe as i sit here tonight...my trials, my burdens, my heavy heart could not begin to compare to the greatness of my God. there is no one greater than God. there is no one bigger, more powerful, more merciful, more gracious, more generous, more loving and kind...than God. there is no one wiser. there is no one better for me to trust than God. i stand on what i know tonight and understand why these phrases are repeated time and again throughout the Quran. it must sink into our being...into our soul. it must be the one thing that we know when all else wavers.
there is no one greater than God.
