WAVES
Waves come bringing beauty and gentle breezes. Waves bring changes to the landscape that will never look the same. Underneath the waves there’s life, renewed and sometimes life destroyed. Waves silently altering the lifecycle of unnoticed growth of the inhabitants below; growing, dying, multiplying, hidden from sight, like secrets hidden in the night.
The beauty of waves; white, gray, brown and blue; magnificent, powerful; ever changing power that can’t be harnessed. They are God’s miracles controlled only by Him.
Waves work together with the setting and raising of the sun, they erase proof of our existence; no tell, tell signs of life when the waves come. Waves earth’s fingerprints, everyone is unique in every way. Sunrise to sunset waves continue to come, no warning, and we have no knowledge of the size. Some larger than the next, bringing sights and sounds different from the last.
A storm is coming, it can be tracked days weeks or months in advance… giving fair warning of what’s to come. Storms of life come without warning, those unexpected waves; no time brace; no time to prepare for what is to come.
How have I prepared for the storm? Have I put my trust in Him, the only One that controls it all? Is my faith fixed on HIM or am I being tossed about in the waves. The waves that take my breath; I feel myself sinking, struggling to keep my head just above the waves.
Do I swim through the muddy waters of pain, fear, worry, sadness and doubt; being tossed about; not knowing which way is up, how do I rise above the waves; the waves the storm did bring.
When will I look to the One who created the Waves; the One that calms every storm, he is WAITNG for me to say His name; take a breath and just say His name. THE I AM is waiting in the depths of my storm, waiting for me to reach for his Almighty hand … My Savior, my safe place in the time of my Storm...
Mark 4:39 He got up , rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
