Is Your Boat Out In The Deep?
Good morning beautiful people. The water is so refreshing. I like to go to the water and just sit and listen. It is so good, so refreshing. I like to meditate on faith scriptures as I must admit I want to gather facts, figure things out and make a decision. In Christ, that’s not the way it is. Most times you step out in blind faith, not knowing. Sometimes, I just plain tell him, Jesus this is risky, and it is stretching me. Every time I have taken a step of faith, it involved taking a risk. I must admit Jesus has met me out on the water. I haven’t drowned yet!
As time goes by and I look back, I can laugh at how terrified I was to step out into the deep. I had to learn to silence the naysayers around me that are stuck in their own boat. They wish they could step out, but they can’t. I had to learn to do new things afraid. I had to put my confidence in Christ alone. That’s where I learned to trust him, out on the water. Out in the deep.
Let’s Pray:
Father, thank you that we are blessed as we put our trust in our Lord, our confidence is in you. (Jeremiah 17:7) You fill our mouth with laughter and our lips with shouts of joy. (Job 8:21) Even out on the water as we keep or eyes looking up, we go beyond what we could ever think. You strengthen our weaknesses, and we sail out into the deep, knowing you are with us.
Father, take us deeper. Teach us how to laugh out on the water, knowing you will bring us safely to the other side. Amen.
Have a blessed day God’s beautiful people. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and not lean on thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
