I was reading this week and came across a passage of Scripture that was particularly encouraging for me and I wanted to share it with you all.
God is our refuge and strength,
a help always near in times of great trouble.
That’s why we won’t be afraid when the world falls apart,
when the mountains crumble into the center of the sea,
when its waters roar and rage,
when the mountains shake because of its surging waves. (Psalm 46:1-3 (CEB))
Not only was it encouraging, but timely in what Pastor Chuck preached on this past Sunday. I was also listening to some music this week and there is a wonderful song titled, “Walking on Water” by Needtobreathe. It also has themes of waves and water… and relying on God for strength. I think we all need a reminder from time to time that God is our strength. Here are the lyrics to the song followed by a link to the song on YouTube.
WALKING ON WATER
The wind is strong, the water is deep
My heart is heavy and my mind won't sleep
Oh can you heal, my fear it breathes
I need to know if You're the shadow I can see
I wanna run to You when the waves break through
I wanna run to You and not turn back
There's no turning back
Nothing in the past
My eyes on You again
Can't see nothing at all
But Your outstretched arms
Help me believe it
Though I falter
You got me walking on water
The ocean's singing, the song of grace
But if I'm honest with myself, I am still afraid
I wanna run to You when the waves break through
I'm gonna run to You and not turn back
There's no turning back
Nothing in the past
My eyes on You again
Can't see nothing at all
But Your outstretched arms
Help me believe it
Though I falter
You got me walking on water
I was sinking like a stone again
I was halfway in the grave and then
I looked up and saw Your face again
You pulled me out of the water, water, water
There's no turning back
Nothing in the past
My eyes on You again
Can't see nothing at all
But Your outstretched arms
Help me believe it
Though I falter
You got me walking on water
Though I falter
You got me walking on water, water, water
You got me walking on water, water, water, water
I love you all dearly and am so thankful for you. May the Lord bless and keep you today and everyday. May you sense God’s encouragement and strength in each new day.Grace and Peace,
Pastor Cara
