Reflection of the seashore
Whilst away on holiday, I was walking along one of the beaches of the black isle- above was the scene.
And I was inspired to write the following;
As I look around the shore of the isle,
I see bright blue skies,
I see stormy skies.
So I reflect on the sunny days of life,
The picturesque days of life.
I reflect too on the stormy days of life,
The days that are hard.
As I reflect on the view before me,
I realise that the stormy skies and the bright skies
Sit side by side,
Slowly they merge.
I think of the glory of sunshine, bright days,
I think of the hope of bright tomorrows in dark days.
I think of your promises, your faithfulness O Lord.
Your promises:
“"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.
When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.
When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you're between a rock and a hard place,
it won't be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God.”
I hear those great words of Paul:
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers, neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
How amazing are your promises?
How faithful is your love?
How amazing are you?
For you Lord are faithful,
You Lord are the God who merges,
stormy skies and bright skies.
You Lord, merge heaven and earth.
You Lord merge humanity and divinity.
“O Lord how Majestic is your name!”
In all times and in all places.
