Safe and secure in the Saviors love, No longer a sinking ship, in this storm tossed sea of life. Sure footed on a solid foundation, Knowing storms pass and struggles neednt cause me strife. Yes, sometimes the sting of reality has been known to dull my song, Yet I know, that if I stand firm by faith in Christ, Hell never steer me wrong. I must stay sharp, ever seeking Gods will not mine, Spirit of The Living God, synchronize my thoughts, motives and deeds so that my life glorifies thine. I care nothing for my scientific DNA, for its in my spiritual DNA that I find true significance. Its there that I find the steadfast hope, immoveable surety of my Savior, that enables me to surrender lifes situations, knowing He sincerely cares and is able to satisfy any need. A sinner saved by amazing grace, salvaged, sanctified, strengthened and so much more. Struck down so often but too stubborn to stay down, still silly enough to believe in the Savior who set me free.... Its shockingly true that you would be too, if you knew even half of all Hes done for me. So yes! Ive much reason to sound off about my faith in such a spectacular Savior.. I was speedily slipping down a slippery slope of sin, Leaving skid marks of sickening sorrow, The only light I could see, was the sparks that were flying, from dragging the shackles of shame I was so bound by within. Yes, my life spun out of control for quite some time, Stopping here and there for a sip or two of the new wine... Still subject to the sucker punches of the satans scandalous, scrutinizing... Id quickly sink again. Jesus was standing in the shadows, just waiting for me to stop trying on my own steam, Ah yes, I was Saved, Born Again, yet still hanging on to what I should have been surrendering, Still seeking through self sufficiency, to serve and live for a Holy God, That my friend, my brothers and sisters in Christ, is sheer, stinking thinking. So if youre still stuck in your self assurance, trusting in self sufficiency and confident you can stand strong...on your own, Sure you can survive the spiritual warfare going on for your soul, believing you are spiritually successful.... Well you better hold on, because soon enough the shaking and sifting will begin. Spend some time with the Savior and ask Him to show and tell you, wait silently, staying still long enough to hear His response and sure enough you will see. God wants us all to Himself, we cannot serve two gods, Self has to get out of the way and most of the time it needs a very hefty shove. Solidified faith makes sound judgements, is never self serving, is sensitive to Gods Holy Spirit, is structured by scriptures instructions and promises, is subject to change as one steadily goes forward, seeks wholeheartedly to live according to Gods truth, His divine way, will and timing. It stands firm by faith and smiles in the face of adversity, still has joy amidst sorrow, knows that giving a sacrifice of praise and to singing through struggles, isnt easy but sure is worth it. Always having a safe place to fall, is so very comforting in and of itself. My Savior is so very special to me and simply put, He is a sacred, secret place of safety, from anything or anyone who seeks harm me. Stronger, surer, more steady my pace, as my faith grows more steadfast in Christ my Savior, knowing He truly does grow sweeter with each passing day. He settled my score, I am more than satisfied to have Jesus as the lover of my soul. Gail Martin, Dec. 3, 2013
