waves

“By faith we will slip our cable for another day’s cruise, and sail forth with Jesus into a sea of tribulation. Winds and waves will not spare us, but they all obey Him; and, therefore, whatever squalls may occur without, faith shall feel a blessed calm within. He is ever in the centre of the weather-beaten company: let us rejoice in Him. His vessel has reached the haven, and so shall ours.” ~Charles Spurgeon

he has conquered our trials today. let's rest the fact the waves that we feel are overtaking us are the waves that bow down to our God. we are so undeserving of Him yet he pours his grace, love, and protection on us. i'm thankful for that today.

Spurgeon...goodness he has a way with words and painting such a rich picture. Now he is someone i'd love to get a cup of coffee with and glean from. Love this!
