"I speak to you from deepest heaven...in(to) the depths
of your being. 'Deep calls unto deep...(My) billows sweep over you.' Psalm
42:7 states, I hear the tumult of the raging seas as your
waves and surging tides sweep over me.
On several occasions as I took several beach vacations this
summer, I was awed each time by the vastness and magnificence of the God we
serve. While the ocean intrigued me, it also however intimidated me...both at
the same time. The way that waves can roll in, crashing over each other, or the
way a breeze can send gentle ripples over the glassy surface, gives it an
ever-changing, nearly living, breathing, expression of nature. I am clearly
reminded that though we serve a mighty big God. He is so personable in that He
remembers mere mortals, human beings like you and me and the very things that
concern us.
I am also reminded that God's grace, His mercy, His
unfathomable love goes far deeper than any soul struggle I may experience or
encounter. I cannot earn it, I cannot say that I have arrived or attained from
it. I simply can receive from all that God – the Great I AM has, as I do from the
beauty and vastness of His great creation, the ocean!
Just as God’s ocean
is unending, so is His love, His grace, His mercy! And in realizing this, my
misery calls out to His mercy. My sin cries out to His saving grace. I am
overwhelmed with praise, captured in worship, as the deepest part of my heart
is caught up in the depths of His love.
I am challenged to come out my comfort zone and delve into
the depth of His purposes and plan for my life!
Let go on today, and trust that when you feel you may be sinking
that God’s grace is sufficient. His ultimate call over your life is
unfailing and His Mercy is not moved by your inadequacies.
Wading willingly into Waters of His Will….
