Into the Deep End

“Many, LORD my God, are the
wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with
you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.”
– Psalm 40:5, NIV
Katie watched the little girl
at the end of the pool. She was adorable in her princess swimsuit and pink arm
floaties. She kept coming close to the edge of the pool only to back away a few
steps.
As Katie watched, she saw the
girl’s father. He kept gently coaxing her. As he encouraged her to jump, he
said, “I’ll catch you if you do.”
“But what if you drop me?” The
little girl would squeal.
Her father laughed, “I love
you. I’ll never let you go.”
After several more minutes of
convincing, the little girl finally splashed her way into the pool—and her
father’s arms.
As Katie watched the scene
unfold, God spoke to her heart. “You’re doing the same thing. I’ve called you
to new adventures but you continue to pace and worry.”
Sometimes, God calls us to
take action and that can feel scary. But God is the perfect Father and He’ll
never let you go.
God, grant me faith when I hear Your voice. Help me to
trust You and lean into this new adventure—no matter where it takes me. I love
You, Abba!
