When the Sun Stood Still — Lessons from Joshua’s Audacious Prayer
One of the most astonishing moments in the Bible takes place in Joshua 10. In the middle of a fierce battle against the Amorite kings, Joshua turns to God and prays one of the boldest prayers ever recorded: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon,and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”(Joshua 10:12, NLT) And then it says: “So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of…

What is Prayer?
What is Prayer? #pray #prayer #Christianity
As part of the Delighting in Trinitarian Prayer series, this post focuses on the concept and act of prayer. One of the most powerful tools a Christian has is prayer, yet so often, it is either not used or taken for granted. We, including myself, let many distractions get in the way of our prayer time. We either come before God and mark off a box because we know we are “supposed” to pray or we…

oceans are deep, are you about that life?
there's that trendy song that's been flooding churches and christian circles for awhile now. you could go on youtube and probably find over a dozen people covering it. people are quoting it and making screen prints and images with overlays stating their favorite lines.
that's right, I'm talking about "oceans (where feet may fail)" by hillsong. don't get me wrong, i absolutely love this song and sobbed the whole way through my first listen. but there's this resounding thought that continually jumps out at me, and i know i can't be the only one thinking this; or maybe you haven't really stopped long enough to let this whole image and picture play out inside of your mind.
imagine you're on a ship. a cruise ship, a yacht, a beautiful and big ship that is secure and well made. i suggest not choosing something like the titanic, because we all know how that story ends. you have sailed into the middle of the ocean, unchartered waters with no land in sight. the depth detector on the ship is reading numbers that are in the miles, and begins to read "error: depth out of range" because the ocean floor is too far to pick up an exact location. you go out onto the deck of the boat, and then, you hear it. you hear Him. a small whisper that seems to float on top of the sea waters, beckoning you.
"Come."
"Your grace abounds in deepest waters, Your sovereign hand will be my guide. Where feet may fail when fear surrounds me; You never fail and You won't start now." I don't know about you, but when i hear these words i instantly think of the deepest and darkest waters that the ocean possesses. these lines jump out to say that yes, we always have God's grace, but it abounds-is most plentiful- in the deep parts of life, in the unknown. the people who live by such faith, when they know if they shift their eyes from Jesus their feet will surely fail them, but they won't stop going deeper because they know that God will never fail or let the waters consume them. Even when moments of fear and anxiety, moments of depression or uncertainty come-they seek the deep. do you want to experience the abundance of God's grace like never before? if you answer yes, are you willing to go to the deepest waters to get ahold of it?
i sing this song on a weekly basis and jam out in my car singing like no one's watching, and thankfully no one can listen. but when i allow the words to really open up inside of my mind and allow God to speak to me through them…Whoa. this is a scary prayer. this is a huge call and request.
i want to be enveloped in a grace that ABOUNDS. grace that is jumping and moving and all encompassing. but am i willing to go to the deepest parts with God? am i willing to step out of my comfort zone, the conveniences that America offers and allow God to lead my life into the unknown where fear will surely come and my own flesh will fail me, that ALL I HAVE IS JESUS. the ocean is deep and mysterious; there are parts we will never even begin to explore.
oceans are deep. do you really want to ask God to call you out upon the waters into the great unknown? if not, i'd suggest skipping that song the next time it comes on your playlist. but if you're ready-if you have a fierce enough faith and boldness within you to go to the deep with God-get ready. grace will abound & mysteries will unfold before your eyes as you experience God like you never have before.
