I saw something as I was worshipping during a prayer meeting at my church today. The lyrics we were singing at the moment were:<\/p>\n
“Holy Spirit, You are welcome here, Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere…”<\/p>\n
As I was caught up in the song, I “felt” the breakers of the Florida Gulf sweeping over me and the water was flooded with the brightness of daylight. As I tumbled over and over under the waves, I marveled at their beauty and cleansing power, and although I was not in control, I was not afraid.<\/p>\n
Then I heard the phrase “Deep calleth unto deep” from Psalm 42:7, so I looked it up.<\/p>\n
Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;<\/span><\/em> The thought came that breakers and waves break off jagged edges of rock and polish them.<\/p>\n If you feel as if life’s breakers and waves have been unrelenting, I believe that God is wanting to let you know something very important\u2014something crucial<\/em>\u2014to help you:<\/p>\n He is doing a work in you. Do not be afraid. He is with you in the waves and He will not fail you or forsake you. He will bring you forth, a smooth, polished stone–a lively<\/em> stone–treasured by Him and useful to Him in His work and His Kingdom.<\/p>\n …for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor\u00a0give you up\u00a0nor\u00a0leave you without support. [I will] not,\u00a0[I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless\u00a0nor\u00a0forsake\u00a0nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]<\/em> Hebrews 13:5b, Amplified Classic Bible<\/p>\n He is faithful,<\/p>\n Dorothy<\/p>\n \u00a9 Dorothy Frick, 2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I saw something as I was worshipping during a prayer meeting at my church today.
