"We pray that you will have the strength to stick it out
over the long haul - not the grim strength of gritting your teeth,
but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the
unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father
who makes us strong enough to take part in everything
bright and beautiful that He has for us."
Colossians 1:11 MSG
Life's Unknown Sea
by Kathie Iselin © fromPapaGod.com
Don't leave your boat anchored in the harbor He said...
Abundant life can't be found in a place that's dead.
Tied safely to the dock is not where you'll find Me...
For My place is at the helm on life's unknown sea.
A steady hand held out to My Sons and Daughters...
Those willing to brave the world's uncharted waters.
For it's in stepping out in faith you learn to trust...
So if one is to grow then setting sail's a must.
Despite the fact the waves are turbulent and high...
You travel not alone for I have heard your cry.
As Navigator, My Son will keep you on course...
With His Spirit an anchor and energy source.
So during trials and on dark, difficult days...
When it's hard to understand My higher Ways,
Seek the Sailor, who's a Savor with a mighty Sword...
Praising Him saying, "Blessed be the Name of the Lord!"
" I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will
give you mighty inner strength through His Holy Spirit..."
Ephesians 3:16 NIV
