Of Raging Seas and Victories (a.k.a. Song Of The Day)

Ooh, rhyming title there! I'm in a wacky mood this past week. I don't know if it's lack of sleep, too much thinking or both. I went by the beach with a few friends yesterday evening. The sea was rough, but the waves that crashed in was just marvellous. My feet in the sand, the warm evening waves rushing in, this is truly a great creation from our God of Wonders.

It's funny how this song came to me earlier in the week. Having not listened to this song for a while, I only knew how the chorus went, but not the verse. I got to HEAR it in my hostess' house just this Tuesday. What a coincidence! I think God prepares His children ahead of time. I mean, I'm reminded of my friend's blog entry, in which she wrote about what she read in Amy Carmichael's book. It said: We only see today. He whom we worship sees tomorrow.

I'm being a little overwhelmed with thinking about work, friends, life..... the usual. Assumptions are dangerous, I know that for sure, but not knowing what the future holds intimidates me a bit. OK, maybe a lot. I try not to think of what may come, though good or bad, except to bless the Lord and trust that He only gives His children what is best.

You Are - Hillsong

You are my light and salvation

Whom shall I fear?

You are the strength of all my days

And whom shall I be afraid?

Though war may rise against me

Of this will I be sure

That I will bless the Lord forever

I'll bless Your holy name

Yes, I will bless the Lord forever

I'll bless Your holy name

Lord it is You I desire

It's You that I seek

To live with You in Your house forever

Beholding Your beauty

And in the time of trouble

Of this will I be sure

You ask me who do I

Say that You are and I

Say that You are the Christ

Son of the Living God
