A former church member...who now has his own ministry, texts out a scripture verse every morning. This was one from earlier this week:
“He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of the deep waters” (Psalm 18:16 NIV). The day he sent this verse, I saw on television the plight of a cruise ship with passengers crying out for some place to land. People around the world, in our nation, state and even in our own communities may be in the same ‘boat’. Crying out from the ‘deep waters’ of illness, financial distress, separation from those they love...you fill in your own ‘deep water’. What struck me about this verse was that God “took hold” of the Psalmist. God still hears our ‘crying out’...God still desires to ‘take hold’ of us. May he take hold in your life, in the midst of your deep waters.
