Oceans

I have always been awestruck by the ocean. 
The might in the waves.
The power in the current.
The beauty it exhibits. 

This summer I was introduced to a song called Oceans by Hillsong at Camp Revolution. I thought "hey, cool song. Oceans are cool. Hillsong is cool. Singing is cool. I can dig it". Then, I came to SBU. That's when I thought "hey, that song relates completely and fully to my life right now". 

Before I continue, I want to give you a chance to listen to the song. 

About once a year there is a song that I hear and it is like God is standing behind me saying "this song is for you. listen up". With this song He was yelling "EASTON TRUST ME. I HAVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO WHERE YOU NEED TO BE". 

For a while my response was not the most positive. I didn't trust. I felt lost. I felt powerless. 

Silly Easton.

He was always there. 

I didn't trust because the enemy told me not to trust.

I felt lost because my eyes were on myself, not on the Father.

I felt powerless because I AM powerless. I'm powerless on my own.

But with Him--trusting Him, focusing on Him, following Him--I can conquer all things. I can go through the great unknown. I will find Him when I look for Him, because He never leaves me. I can call on Him and He will answer. 

He is guiding my every move. 

There is grace through Him. 

There is freedom from fear through Him. 

There is direction through Him.

I got the chance to lead this song at my home-church this past weekend and my oh my. The power of His love and all that He brought me through in this past week hit hard. And the best part is, He's not done yet. He has so much more to lead me through. There are bigger, harder, things that He is going to call me to do. But I got it. You know why?


I am His

           and
                 
                  He is mine.
