When the Oceans Roar

Friday, October 5, 2018


She loved the serene brutality of the ocean
The feeling of the electrifying power
That surged through her veins
When the frigid waters enveloped her
The smell of the fresh salty air revivified her
The cool wind breeze enticed her

The seagulls in the dark blue sky
Glide across the water, flapping their wings in unison to one another
Escaping the water’s forceful crest

The wind carries the foamy white waves into the rocks
Creating a formidable splash
Her feet penetrate deeper and deeper into the sand
As she stands there
Listening intently to the sound of the ocean’s roar 

The water is her refuge
And God is her stronghold
When oceans roar
That is her calling
God calls her to deep waters
Wave after wave His love crashes over her
He gives her courage
He makes her brave

God is like an ocean
We cannot know Him by His surface
Our relationship with the Lord is not limited
To just one thing
To truly know Him
We must know everything about Him
Just like the ocean is much more than an exquisite painting
God is much more than a being that we simply acknowledge exists

He has the power to calm stormy seas
He has the righteousness to establish inner peace
He has the grace to drown our pain
He has the steadfast love to wash over us
He has the genuine compassion to keep us above the waves

When oceans roar
That is her calling
God calls her to the unknown seas
As wave after wave crashes over her
She is reminded of His unwavering love
When her feet begin to sink deeper and deeper she does not fear
For she knows her God is holding her

She is made courageous
She is molded in bravery
Dauntlessness is interlaced with perseverance
In her fiery soul

When oceans roar
She hears God’s voice
She feels His presence
She embraces it
The water soaks her skin and its coolness sends shivers up her spine
She is filled with peace and her heart is no longer weary of longing

She’s found her calling
She’s found her foundation
Her God is what holds her
His love is what sustains her
All her worries are washed away
She has found her purpose
And though she has fears
Her foundation is established in the One True King
Who will conquer all of her worry and despair

Courage is within her
And this is made known to her
Time and time again

When the oceans roar
