The ocean soothes me. It reminds me of how huge and mighty is our God.
It amazes me that the ocean can just lap at the sand on the beach in gentle little ripples. How in the world can a body of water so hugely heavy and powerful just gently caress the shore one day then rave and pound the sand on the next as though it is battling the beach for its very existence?
We do that. Or I do. One day I'm fine. The next I want to scream at the world in resistance to circumstance or dark pain.
I choose to live without timidity in this battle. I choose to fan the flame of the gift that God has put in me and live in His spirit of power and love and self discipline. (2 Timothy)
Days of peace in my spirit even though the storm rages around me. Even though the toilet overflows or the bills are past due, or emotions flood my being, I will keep His peace as I battle on.
Because He has already won.
God does not want us to make promises to Him. He wants us to believe His promises to us and act accordingly.
