What if the river refused to fall, what if the flow dammed up before the destination. Will you trust God with blind obedience, will you hold his hand and make that leap of faith? For it is not until we jump, that our true beauty is revealed. Complete surrender to the Father, total destruction of the flesh. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end (Ecclesiastes 3:11). And no one can know which way the river runs, without placing your hand in the current.
More than the sounds of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty (Psalm 93:4). He who believes in me, as the Scripture said, “From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). Deep calls to deep in the roar of your water falls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me (Psalm 42:7). I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not in himself, nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps (Jeremiah 10:23). Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not (Psalm 17:5).
Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105). You make me as sure footed as a deer, you plant my feet firmly on the rock. Why would I doubt you, why would I not easily go where you lead? The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Will you trust your senses, your emotions that drive without end. Or will you trust Almighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, the God with no beginning and no end. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And son of man that thou visitest him? (Psalm 8:4). God loves you, he wants you to jump in the river with him. He knows the very number of hairs on your head, will he not also teach you to swim.
When he leads you out in deep waters, certainly he will not leave you to drown. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze (Isaiah 43:2). You will move from glory to glory. You will be is a fire upon the water. Nothing will be able to extinguish your flame. You will be a burning inferno for Jesus Christ. Your light will invade the darkness, no evil can stand in your way. Grave you have been defeated, oh death where is your sting! I am the living one; I was dead, and now look I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave (Revelation 1:18)....
