Oceans deep

Ok, I must blog about this great song by Hillsong and how it spoke to me and speaks to me each time I listen to it.

"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
and my faith will be made stronger....."

It goes on to say ... I will keep my eyes above the waves...

I often think of how I am down in a foreign land(yes foreign) for the Love of my Lord and Savior and how often I feel like I am drowning, but here it says I will keep my eyes upon the waves... making an intentional effort to stay afloat, and look ahead and trust.

Sometimes we must make a choice to live for him, go for him and continue to go for him.

Don't get me wrong Salvation is free, salvation is easy.... but when you choose to walk that path, trust and faith come along with it too. It's all about choice... God isn't gonna cram anything down our throats. Choice was give to us long ago in the garden. Salvation is a choice and fellowship with our Lord is a choice... what have you chosen?

Then it goes on to say take me deeper than my feet could ever wander..... hmmm who goes into water  and then when you can' t touch just continues to go on... not many people, I mean if you have a purpose and you are doing something yeah, you may swim on out there, but I mean when you are just in the water, you usually stay somewhere close around where you can touch or right near where you cannot touch the bottom so that you can swim back over to safety quickly. Who wants to wander deeper?

When I listen to this song, I think of my Lord and Savior and his love, and his goal for my life, but I also think about how I must choose to keep my eyes above the waves, I must yield to him, trust him and apply my faith to the life I have been given.

Yeah, I could choose another way, but who would want to go another way, when you are in his will ?
I am thankful he chose me, blessed to be one of his and grateful that he put a desire in my heart to go for him, and continue to go....

Thank you Lord for Oceans deep, Sometimes I feel like I am in over my head and it's hard to keep my eyes above the waves, but Lord, I am willing for you to take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, so that my faith could be made stronger in the presence of my savior.
