The waves rise high and the wind rages and in the middle of all this, I am expected to be still and trust God. To be thankful that He is there. <br /><br />I have to admit that it takes me some time to get there, to reach that point where I let go and let God. But whenever I do give up trying to make things happen in my timing, I experience what you have said here. I experience His salvation and a deep calm; He brings me through. <br /><br />Thank you for this Word of Faith that inspires and encourages those of us who walkby faith. <br />Shalom,<br />PatriciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734171129596029179.post-47965502683231696702015-08-20T23:48:27.313-05:002015-08-20T23:48:27.313-05:00I never looked at it quite this way but after read...I never looked at it quite this way but after reading your words, it makes perfect sense. Thank you for showing me yet another thing to praise God for an enriching my relationship with Him even further.<br />Love, MickiMicki Peluso is the author of "And the Whippoorwill Sang"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14286402859989726344noreply@blogger.com
