Mysterious Waters

We’ve set sail 

The crew is all here 

Our direction is set 

But the way seems unclear.

The fog rolls in 

Then it lifts to reveal the sun 

It’s a mystery what our plight will be 

Until each day’s begun.

The waves rise high 

Then the seas are still 

We’re taking on water 

Then our nets are filled. 

I’ve yet to believe 

That I have sturdy sea legs 

My eyes are drawn to the horizon 

My heart gets lost in the waves. 

Am I sunk? 

But you’re still there 

A beacon to follow through the salty sea air. 

But I’m weak

Maybe it’s scurvy? 🤔

I should taste and see

That the Lord is still alive in me 

We’ve set sail on mysterious waters 

But don’t lose heart, a slight breeze can become a gail 

With the right captain aboard 

We can live in one accord 

And the wind can still catch our sails. ⛵

He Who Began a Good Work in Us…..

God began a good work in you. And I am sure that he will carry it on until it is completed. That will be on the day Christ Jesus returns. 

Philippians 1:5 (NIRV)

God’s ways are Mysterious

God’s ways are as mysterious as the pathway of the wind and as the manner in which a human spirit is infused into the little body of a baby while it is yet in its mother’s womb.

Ecclesiastes 11:5 (Living Bible)

  4. But don’t lose heart, a slight breeze can become a gail
    With the right captain aboard
    We can live in one accord
    And the wind can still catch our sails – and when that happens, it is the best feeling ever, the joy, the intimacy of being close to the Lord.
    Hope you are doing well Tina 💙
