So last night at choir practice I was reminded of a beautiful truth. We were working on a new song that is a different arrangement of It Is Well With My Soul.
One phrase just jumped out and grabbed me. "So let go my soul and trust in Him. The waves and wind still know His name." Wow!! Trust in Him - and let go. Why? Because He still rules the waves and wind. The God of creation is still in control. The storms that rage in and around my life are still subject to His voice. He rules them - He is working in and through Him.
I needed the reminder that I just have to trust and praise Him every day in the midst of every storm. He is the great I Am and He is, has and always will be. So let go my soul and trust. Just let Him handle it. Like the lighthouse on the hill if we keep our focus on Him rather than the waves and praise Him - He will lead us safely home.
And if we don't trust and praise Him then He is still in control and storms will still rage only we will cower in the bottom of the boat. Stand in the bow and let the wind and waves blow your hair and wet your face because God is still in control and the waves and wind still know His name and if we don't praise Him the rocks will.
"“He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.””
Luke 19:40 ESV
