Deep Waters Brings New Hope!

Psalms 107:23-24

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. --- Psalm 107: 23-24

Sometimes God takes us into such deep waters that we lose control of the situation, and we have no choice but to trust in His care for us fully.

The greater the calling, the deeper the water.

The Scriptures tell us that the disciples testified of what they saw and heard. It was the power behind the gospel words. The power wasn’t seen until circumstances reached the point where there were no alternatives but God. Sometimes God has to take us into the deep water in order to give us the privilege to see His works. Sometimes God has to take us into the deep waters of life for an extended time. Joseph was taken into the deep waters of adversity for 17 years. Rejected by his brothers, enslavement to Pharaoh, and imprisonment were the deep waters for Joseph. During those deep waters, he experienced dreams, a special anointing of his gifts to administer, and great wisdom beyond his years. The deep waters were preparation for a task that was so great he never could have imagined it. He was to see God’s works more clearly than anyone in his generation. God took Joseph through the deep waters of preparation to ensure that he would survive what he was about to face. Pride normally engulfs young servants who have had such access to the power at such a young age.

If God chooses to take us into deep waters, it is for a reason; get ready for preparation. The greater the calling, the deeper the water.

• My willpower comes from the strongest power source, the word of God!

• When I am weak, I’m strong enough to call on God’s help!

• God can make me better than I ever dreamed possible!

• I’m determined to make it, no matter what!

Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?

If not, and you want to, I would like to pray with you:

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite you to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. Amen
