Part Those Waters
Isaiah 43:2, “When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”
Hello friends! May we find blessings in today that will bring positive vibes all through each moment. Have you ever felt you were just drowning in life? Like, maybe you are just reaching for the that life buoy they threw, but it’s just at the tips of your fingers? So many times, we become so wrapped up in our day to day lives we forget to speak softly to God and receive His reassurance on our destiny. When the waters are starting to climb, find a way to bring positive thoughts so you can find positive solutions to what has caused the flood water to expand. Finding ways to prioritize our schedules, plans, work life from home life can be a challenging endeavor. Sometimes we need God to help provide someone to step in and help us reach that life buoy so we can start treading the waters with slow even strokes! We have already figured out that thrashing about in the waters hasn’t brought us closer to the boat or even after a little work; anywhere near the shore. Finding time for just you and God must be the first item on everyone’s list! It is so worth it to give yourself time to meditate, pray and be regenerated so that we can learn that if the butterfly stroke is too much; then the breast stroke may be too fast; so then do the back stroke to relax and flow through the motions! Many times, God had to bring His people to the understanding of how much He can offer to them that will provide a safer journey in life, just by letting Him take care of the water’s depths[o1] . Each time, they were ignoring His word, forgetting His power, and not trusting or having faith to accept His promises. But, once they were knee deep, then waist deep, finally thrashing about in the flood waters; their eyes were opened! Total acceptance of God providing, His deep concern, His unfailing love, and trust in His power; brought them closer to the buoy, then onto the boat, therefore bringing them to the shore! It just takes prioritizing you daily needs by allowing Him to come in and help you adjust to following His guidance. Once you allow Him to part the waters between the big things and the little things; your strokes against the waves will be steadied and then placed evenly along your path. So, today, let’s take time to let God do the parting of the waters so we can relax and do the back stroke!
