Psm 6 ; 15 Do not let the floodwaters engulf me or the depths swallow me up.

I was praying on Friday outside when my heart and thoughts returned to a prayer time I experienced in 2004 when a tsunami swept across the islands in the Pacific Ocean and many lives were lost.

At that long ago time I now remembered how I grieved and how inadequate my prayers seemed when God spoke to me. I was in church and the simple cross on the back wall appeared to move. HE said. I AM THE GOD IN AND THROUGH ALL THINGS. ALL IN THE TSUNAMI WAVE WHO REACH OUT TO ME WILL BE DELIVERED.

My 2025 prayer concluded with a prayer of thanksgiving for the times in my life of deep need when He lifted me.

My morning Devotional Our Daily Bread contained a fascinating story of a submerged statue under the sea off a remote cove in north west Italy. This statue can only be seen by scuba divers or other divers. Called CHRIST of the Abyss it is the picture above.

Today on this Lord’s Day I give grateful THANKS and PRAISE to our God that although it may be wonderful to see this phenomenon we as HIS REDEEMED CHILDREN can KNOW this TRUTH as part of our life journey.

Our AWESOME HOLY GOD IS IN ALL OF OUR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES and by reaching OUT to HIM, HE will indeed carry us THROUGH.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! PRECIOUS SAVIOUR. \

A-men!
