Can't Touch Bottom and Way Over My Head

 

He rebuked the Red Sea,
and it became dry,
and He led them
through the deep
as through a desert.

       Psalm 106. 9

(Never deny His glory.
Never explain Him away.
No, we couldn't have
   done this at all
   without Him.
If it were not difficult
       or impossible,
would we even turn to God
  or acknowledge His hand?
What is my Red Sea
   right now in front of me?
God brings us through
   to His great goodness,
even in what we can't
       quite see yet.
Something out of our view,
     but not out of His sight.
And it just may be
what someone else needs
        to witness.)

O LORD,
We all struggle with something,
    deep and stormy,
and we don't just forget how to swim.
  We forget to follow You into it.
We ask You today,
not to remove the hard stuff,
    but strengthen us in it.
Reveal Yourself to us
   in what we experience.
Saturate Your glory
   all the way through.
Help us to be faithful
  to take a step into the deep.
You made a way through
     the Red Sea.
You guide us through our own.
