Mercy and Truth have met together;
Righteousness and Peace have kissed. Psalm 85:10
This latest one makes me think of ocean life and the beauty that lies underneath the surface.
Life can bring some pretty challenging waves that are downright rough: (illness, financial struggles, wayward kids etc.) Then there are other days where the water might be relatively calm, but the NOISES of life (fault finding, complaining, criticizing, doubt, scorn, scoffing) steal the wind from our sails.
I have never been snorkeling or deep sea diving, but I have noticed that just floating on my back in a simple pool where my EARS are SUBMERGED brings me great peace; all I hear is my calmed down breathing and gentle water sounds... "a womb with a view" comes to mind; I can hear the Lord's voice and see His ever watchful eyes upon me in His mercy and truth. His righteousness and peace have kissed me tenderly in the Living Water and I am safe, sound, and secure.
There is a time in our lives when we must go deep SEE diving and find what's really below the surface. Without fail, we will discover that underneath ARE the Everlasting Arms that keep us afloat and moving all the while taking us deeper.
