When Oceans rise....

And I will call upon your name

And keep my eyes above the waves

When oceans rise

My soul will rest in your embrace

For I am yours, and your are mine

Oh how dearly I love this song from Hillsong United! We sang it in church this week and I was nearly moved to tears. How often is it, though, that we walk through life relying on our own strength (which, lets face it, gets us into pretty messy situations!) and only calling out to Christ in our time of need? Is this really what's intended by him? No. As the song continues...

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders

Let me walk upon the waters

Wherever you would call me

Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander

And my faith will be made stronger

In the presence of my Savior

For real though, is our prayer to Christ that he would lead us wherever he calls?! I mean, personally deciding on my future career is tough! I have to balance my passion for something with the idea that it will make enough money to provide, sorry art, you're out of the question, I'm not talented enough for it anyway. But if God told you to leave everything and serve him without borders would you do it? If you were constantly trusting Christ for your next meal would you do it? Could you do it? Obviously, if God ordained this work for me I surely am capable, not on my own but through him. Would I do it? The easy answer would be for me to say "Yes! I most certainly would!" But in all honesty would I? Would you?
