wonders in the deep ...

It is clear, then, that self must stand out of the way, that there may be room for God to be exalted; . . .

He whose life is one even and smooth path, will see but little of the Glory of the Lord, for he has few occasions of self-emptying, and hence, but little fitness for being filled with the Revelation of God. They who navigate little streams and shallow creeks, know but little of the God of tempests; but they who
"do business in great waters,"
these see His "wonders in the deep."
Among the huge Atlantic-waves of bereavement, poverty, temptation, and reproach, we learn the Power of Jehovah, because we feel the littleness of man. Thank the Almighty, then, if you have been led by a rough road: it is this which has given you your experience of God's Greatness and Lovingkindness. Your troubles have enriched you with a wealth of knowledge to be gained by no other means: your trials have been the Cleft of the Rock in which Jehovah has set you, as He did His servant Moses, that you might behold His glory as it passed by. Praise God that you have not been left to the darkness and ignorance which continued prosperity might have involved, but that in the great fight of affliction, you have been capacitated for the Outshinings of His Glory in His Wonderful Dealings with you.

Wow! How true I have found in my own life.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the Deep Wonders in my life like the sensitive You are creating me to be. I so often shed tears for the pain of aloneness I feel yet I know You never leave me, how You take Delight over me, and how You hold me when I feel so desperate. I am truly blessed and I wouldn't have it any other way! I love You!
