Inch by inch. Minute by minute. Day by day. It's odd how things echo for lifetimes that are set into motion by little moments throughout one's life. Though those moments don't last they are sometimes immortalized, immortalized for a lifetime if not for a history of a town, country, generation, or a running stretch of humanity. But the reverberations of a moment in our lives have a tendency to trickle down the brain to our hearts, gathering there the collection of joys, sorrows, and phenomenal ordinarity.

They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth. They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals. But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced. Psalm 63:9-10 Rain. It is raining today like crazy. Literally like crazy.

He satisfies with (not bare minimum, but) the very best of the depths of knowledge and provision. The sovereign hand of all authority and power can and will sustain the soul thirsty for Him.
