Deep In The Waters of Gods Word
As a non swimmer, deep water has always left me trepidatious. Although I have a love of being close to the sea, I also have an equally healthy respect for its power. In the Bible, water has come to symbolize many things, none the least are, the “washing of the word and the power of the word.”
When the flood waters of life seem to wash over you, the washing of the word can hold back those waves. When Peter slipped, while walking to Jesus, he had started wading in waters above his neck. Jesus in rebuking the waves and wind showed the power of His Word over the power of the water.
The written word is like that, the power it wields is “living and active “. The greatest power is in the deep ocean of study. Sometimes we need to step further out of the boat of simply reading the odd passage, glancing at a devotional, tuning into a Sunday sermon and deep dive into the deeper things that God wants to share.
Ultimately this water experience leads you (through His words) to He Himself, the Living Word. We are admonished to study ourselves approved ” and by now “some of us should be teachers” to move on from milk to meat.
Are you ready to cross the waters? Don’t’ “sink about it “ Think about that
