God's Faithful Servant--The Lonely Wave

"He quieted the wind down to a whisper, put a muzzle on all the big waves. And you were so glad when the storm died down, and He led you safely back to harbor." (Psalm 107:23)

Our vacation was incredible, but being at the beach always is. For it is God in His purest form. The waves speak to me in the rawest form. The air brushes against my face as if speaking a whole new language. The midst of salt air rises from the waves and touch my skin in an amazing newness. Just smell a newborn baby, touch their skin, caress their hair allthewhile close your eyes in this venture. Your senses come alive.

This is what it is like when we allow God to become our senses. When we let Papa embrace the beauty of all He created.

Just call me Mrs. Kodak. I love my pictures. Here is one of the pictures I took while I was on vacation. A little picture of a lonely picture of a wave. But it is a pretty significant picture of a powerful picture. For this picture depicts a beautifully calm sea with one very lone wave with a very large big wave riding its last ride into the shore. What a contrast! For the day before, the seas had been very rough.

As I look at the pictures, I can actually smell the ocean, hear the birds and feel the wind against my face. And I think about the one lonely wave making its wave shore--to his home!

The wave does not think about time. Oh no! He's not on a schedule; he's only on God's time. He's living in eternity. As I watched the wave, I notice how at peace he lives his last moments. As if with all his strength he has, he bellows up and rolls. I hear him. He is a witness to his Savior. He lives out the purpose of his being without question. And as he rolls onto the shore, he surrenders with such peace.

He is "Led safely back to harbor." (Psalm 107:23)

"Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21) as we stand before our Abba.

The lonely wave, the lonely child, the lonely mother, the lonely husband....

Are we any different?

are we really lonely?? (Psalm 23)
