Lessons from the Ocean

Storm Surge

Resistance

What can be said about resistance- it makes you strong

The obstacles;  the struggle – tough to hold on

Every day presented as a gift

Life fleeting as the sand beneath me shifts



Like the current in the ocean- such a force

That struggle to stand still -staying the course

That resistance simply strengthens your frame

The one who holds that current; he calls me by name



He knows the to hold back, or when to push forward

I Trust that still small voice, leaning in and drawing forward

In order to hear that whisper  I  have to remain still

Quiet my mind, let go of my will



In this life there will is adversity;

Many struggles, “TRUST” I went to the university

What I know to be true, what I know for sure

That I don’t face it alone, in this I’m secure



Resistance has taught me, I don’t stand alone

For when I am still, he makes his presence known

He is developing my character, refining my faith

All for my benefit that I may endure the race
