Are You Scared of the Waves?
Iʼm scared of the waves. I donʼt venture out deep and only like getting my feet wet. But my older boys have been enjoying boogie boarding in the ocean while we are on vacation. Just a little while ago my hubby took our eight month old baby without floats into the ocean and I stood and freaked out as they got hit by two waves. I looked like a crazy lady on the sand waiving my arms and yelling. A younger guy was laughing at something as I turned around (probably me).
But our baby wasnʼt scared at all. He wasnʼt crying or afraid. He was safe in his Daddyʼs arms.
After our baby sat in the shade with me awhile I walked him back down to the ocean and dipped his
feet in the shallow water and he started fussing like he was afraid of the oncoming waves. It hit me that he was afraid that time because his Daddy wasnʼt holding him and he thought I was going to sit him down in the waves all by himself. I quickly picked him up and thought about how we can face storms in our life bravely if we remember our Heavenly Father is with us.
Itʼs comforting to have someone just be with you when you are going through trials in life.
The Bible says in Hebrews 13:5
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee
Psalm 91 is a great one to read when you are afraid or feel attacked by the enemy.
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
He is with you in the waves.
