The ocean on a stormy eve is not a typical planned escape, but seems designed to call its audience to reflection. Salty air twists wildly in front of my face. Raging warm air and cool whispers of salt breathe life to my once deadened thoughts. The musings of a storm Oceanside, rather, provide a sense known not to those without it. This is God. He calls the waves wild, releasing them in intervals consigned to His Hands. Watch mere life tremble by the Call. The contrast of the sky and the deep sea moves to panic. Awareness made pure by the storm.
Now left behind, calm, reminiscent of the fury that just was. Provoking thought wild and call of Duty. Teaching obedience to His troubled brood. And then he releases command against raging wind and passionate Sea, leaving life still. The sweet calm that remains motions her to submission, leaving pieces of earth not meant for life outside the Sea.
i was just observing today how weirdly amazing the clouds were. in fact, i kept saying to myself "the clouds are full of peace."
ReplyDeleteremember when you would describe some of your fears as if you were out in an ocean in the middle of the night and you weren't sure what was around you?
what change...what a change i see in you.
i was thinking about your post today, and this song came on the radio and reminded me of it. it's by MikesChair: Let The Waters Rise.
ReplyDeleteDon't know where to begin
Its like my world's caving in
And I try but I can't control my fear
Where do I go from here?
sometimes its so hard to pray
When You feel so far away
But I am willing to go
Where you want me to
God, I trust You
There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will swim in the deep
'Cuz You'll be next to me
You're in the eye of the storm
And the calm of the sea
You'll never out of reach
God, You know where I've been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before
You'll be faithful again
I'm holding Your hand
There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You
God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding onto You
God Your love is enough
I will follow You
I will follow You
Ohhh
There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You
Ohhh
Words fail me. We must discuss this more in person. You intrigue me.
