Waves and Billows

Waves and Billows

Waves can sometimes overwhelm.  Billows can hide and make obscure.

So when we are overwhelmed and our path is darkened, what then?

How about a bit of good news?

Love this thought.

“But God is the God of the waves and the billows,

and they are still His when they come over us;

again and again we have proved that

the overwhelming thing does not overwhelm.

Once more by His interposition deliverance came.

We were cast down, but not destroyed.”

Amy Wilson Carmichael

That is an amazingly encouraging thought.  Kind of reminds us that God is in control no matter what. 

 

He is the master of …

The waves

The billows

The problems

The challenges

The deficits

The discouragements

All of this and more is still his. 

And remember this …

The overwhelming thing

does not overwhelm.

I love that!

My history has proven that.  So has yours.

Remember that time when …?  You can fill in the blank.  We thought the end was near.  We thought we would never get out of whatever we were facing at that moment. 

And look at us today.  The overwhelming thing did not overwhelm. 

Perhaps it is a good day to give thanks to God.

Be encouraged.
