“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
(Hebrews 11:1 ESV)
“And without faith, it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”
(Hebrews 11:6 ESV)
Church was so good yesterday. I felt so good that I didn’t want that feeling to stop. So I went to YouTube and listened to Christian Music. I really love the song, “Step Into the Water” by Ernie Haas and Signature Sound:
“There is victory for the christian,
“Step Into the Water” by Ernie Haas and Signature Sound
who walks the narrow way.
There has been a prize appointed,
for the soul who does not stray.
Oh, I want to live for Jesus, be all that I should be.
So that I can rest with Him forever,
Live eternally.
Step into the water, wade out a little bit deeper.
Wet your feet in the water of His love.
Step into the water.
Wade out a little bit deeper,
Come join angels singin’,
Praises to the Lamb of God.
To the lamb of God.”
It’s time. It’s time to wade out and go for it. Jesus is waiting in the deep for us. Don’t just stand at the banks, just barely getting your toes wet. Wade out. It doesn’t matter if you can’t swim. Jesus is our life saver. He will keep us from sinking and going under. There’s a prize waiting for us. That prize is eternal life in heaven. That prize is forever with Jesus.
Afraid to go into the deep? Me too. I can’t swim. But I am going. Take my hand and we will go together. We will go deeper and see the wonderful things that are just ahead for us if we don’t stray off the path. God has wonderful things for us. So let’s step into that water and wade out a little bit deeper. Let’s see the things God has waiting for us if we just keep focused on Him.
Have a great day, everyone.
