Word Filled Wednesday

Lord, this has been a really blessed week and I thank You so much for not opening, even the tiniest bit, hardened hearts, but using the people around me, the circumstances and more to really touch our lives and to humble and teach us.

I chose this verse for this week’s WFW because it reminded me of tales that my husband would tell me of his surfing days and just the freedom he felt riding among the waves, but feeling the stability of the surfboard beneath his feet. PdPhoto.com">It reminded me so much of how our walk with God is so similar.

When you think about it sometimes, life is like the ocean.

Sometimes the ride is smooth and like glass…everything is fine and no problems, but there are those moments when life becomes turbulent and honestly, we don’t stand a chance alone. We fall into the water, we get tossed and turned about and we have to watch out for the reef, but as long as we keep focus and our feet planted firmly in God’s Word and embrace….Even though the waves are spilling all around us, we are slowly “surfing” toward land because God is in control and He is our rock and foundation.
