The Ocean
Psalm 118:24
This is the day the Lord
has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
I send you greetings from Seabrook Island, South
Carolina where I am blessed to live. This is one of my favorite places on
earth where the ocean is constantly glittering like diamonds afloat and the
dolphins gleefully glide through the surf playing the game “Where will I
surface next!” The Sea Gulls laugh out loud providing entertaining music from
the air and the Pelican formations are a sight to be seen as they gracefully
soar over the waves. One can't over look the fascinating Skimmers as they glide
skillfully just over the water for the catch of the day. As each wave laps in, it forever
reconstructs the seascape --- shifting the sand to new formations and bringing in
a constant pattern of change. The ocean is a constant occurrence of high
tides, low tides --- much like life itself.
Life too, is filled with eddies that create
modifications of our very being. We ride the high tides in our life that make
us feel like one could walk on water but unfortunately in life we also
experience riptides where we literally feel ourselves drowning. During
this time we may feel as if the sand is shifting underfoot or the undercurrent
of the water is pulling us swiftly out to sea. So what do you do when the
sand shifts and the undercurrent is sweeping off your feet?
You worship passionately! First you
pray for the Holy Spirit to be your advocate uplifting and guiding you to solid
ground. Second, you believe in the Grace of God knowing that He alone is the
source of strength that will bring peace and serenity to your soul.
Third, be cognizant of the Grace given to you through accepting Jesus Christ as
your Saviour. In His death and resurrection you are offered forgiveness of your
sins so you may have eternal life. The "Good News" is God loves each
unique human being: He loves you no matter what! TOTT
Prayer:
May the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord makes
his face shine upon you and give you grace. The Lord turn his face toward
you and give you peace.” Amen
Commitment for today: Is it time to start seeking
the power of the Trinity? Is it time to stop rejecting the promises offer
through Christ? If so, act upon it.
