Red Sea Places

For some reason, this just spoke to me. Maybe it's the phrase "Red-Sea-place in your life", maybe it's the knowledge that I'm in that place where I just have to walk through this grief.

Thought some of you might like this, too.


When you come to the Red-Sea-place in your life,
When, in spite of all you can do,
There is no way round, there is no way back,
There is no other way but through:


Then know God with a soul serene,
And the dark and the storm are gone.
God stills the wind.

God stills the waves.
God says to your soul,

"Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on!"

Yeah. I don't know why, but there are days when I'm nearly helpless to stay in the present. I just about have whiplash from looking at the past.

Thank you for sharing this. It is wisdom which I needed today, when I spent much of the day looking over my shoulder, thinking about the past rather than the present.

Best wishes,

Shady
