Day 157: Through The Mighty Waters...

  

Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen. ~Psalm 77:19

I love this verse. Not only is it poetic, but it speaks a deep truth. I’ve been seeing a lot of my friends struggle lately and  I too am struggling to understand certain things... honestly who isn’t?

Sometimes we go through a bump in the road. Everything could be going great and then all of a sudden bam, you get hit with something unexpectedly. It could be just a little one day bump or it could be a much longer bump... The kind you have no clue when it will go away.

Could you imagine what Moses and the Israelites thought when they came to the Red Sea. Shear panic into shear awe.

God allows us into mighty waters, not because he doesn’t love us... He does! Yet, because truly in the end there is a purpose. Something that might not have come to be if it wasn’t for that bump.

When the waters rise, do not fear. God is there, He is beside you and is following your every step. Guiding your hand and eventually leading you to higher ground. Remember and hold dear to that.

Here is a song that I think fits well with my post today. Below it I have the lyrics for those of you that aren’t able to see the video. Enjoy~

Let The Waters Rise

Don't know where to begin
Its like my world's caving in
And I try but I can't control my fear
Where do I go from here?

sometimes its so hard to pray
When You feel so far away
But I am willing to go
Where you want me to
God, I trust You

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

I will swim in the deep
'Cuz You'll be next to me
You're in the eye of the storm
And the calm of the sea
You're never out of reach

God, You know where I've been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before

You'll be faithful again
I'm holding Your hand

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding onto You
God Your love is enough
I will follow You
I will follow You

Ohhh

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

Ohhh
