Waking up to waves invokes feelings within my soul like no other place on earth. If you’ve been at the beach for any length of time, you discover the waves are the same…day in…day out. You wake up and nothing has changed. Still rolling into the beach and back out to sea. Most of the time, they even sound the same. Same old, same old.
BUT OVERRIDING that is the sense of constant. Faithful. They will still be there when I wake up. Nothing has changed. They didn’t suddenly disappear. If anything, the color has changed. Grey to blue…or blue to grey. But always, and consistently there. And that brings a sense of security. Of stability. Of peace. I can count on the waves.
Same with my Heavenly Father. He was there last night when I closed my eyes. And He was there when I awakened. Constant. Consistent. Perhaps a bit of a “color change”. Sleep changed my perspective. Worry clouded over the night before, but “joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5)
A sense of peace. Security. Stability. Faithfulness. James 1:17 “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
I can count on the waves.
I can count on my Father.
