In this episode of EndureFaith, Bjørn-Ivar reflects on a quiet paddle on a forest lake, where the sound of birds and the stillness of the water helped the stress of daily life begin to settle.
Close to the water, birds sat over their nests, carefully protecting the life beneath them, even as predators circled above. That simple picture became a reflection on peace, because life does not always become completely safe before it can be held, protected, and given room to grow.
With Jesus’ words in John 14:27 and the image of refuge in Psalm 91:4, this episode considers a peace that is not dependent on everything difficult disappearing.
Sometimes peace is the quiet nearness of God in the middle of what still feels uncertain, exposed, or unresolved.
