Changing Tides…

I can feel it. The pull like the undertow in the ocean, tickling my toes as the sand retreats with it. I do not fear the change, but alas, I know its coming. God told David not to fear, but to take solace in knowing that his God was with him. So must we all. As we step forward into the unknown, we should take comfort in these words. I try my best to do so. However, unlike so many times before, I can sense the change this time. It’s like grabbing onto the end of the rope you have just thrown around the neck of a 500 lb. steer, who is headed in the opposite direction. That initial shock of power that is about to drag you across the ground is more than you expected. The adrenaline rush that makes your mind race as you search for something, anything solid to tie off too before the end of the rope arrives: feet sliding, lungs gasping for breath. Now unlike then, I’m getting the sense of that magnitude beforehand. The time before I was able to tie off to the bumper of the old 77 Chevy with six inches of rope to spare. What will it take this time to hold on to the tail of the tiger as the race begins..? Heaven only knows, but I pray the Lord will give me the strength to deliver his Word…afterall, what I do, I do for him.
