Look What I Found At The Ocean

The future speaks to me when I hear the sound of the ocean. I’m taking a few days to myself at the beach to collect my thoughts, soothe my soul and restore my focus. Life has a way of placing weights upon your soul that only a voice from the future can unburden. Somehow, the wind and the waves unite as one. If you listen with an eternal attention and awareness, you can hear the promise of God to one-day make all things new again.

Yesterday, as I was sitting on the beach, I closed my eyes and just listened. I could hear the sound of the wind and the waves. They danced as one, yet you could hear their uniqueness. The waves seem to be much heavier and solid sounding than the wind with its whirling and flowing pace.  Yet, together, the wind and the waves sing a song of a future that is sure.

The water moves in harmony toward the shoreline in constant complexity. A complexity that speaks to me that God is always involved in His creation and also my life. He never stops changing the shore of my life or your life. Each time the water retreats back into the ocean, it leaves a new layer of mystery to explore behind.

The vastness of the ocean overwhelms us, but it doesn’t overwhelm God. Each drop of water is accounted for as much as He knows the exact number of hairs on your head. Each drop of water counts and each drop matters to the whole of things. I matter! You matter! Mother Teresa once said, “We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”

The future speaks to me when I hear the sound of the ocean. To my soul it whispers, “Behold, I make all things new.” (Revelation 21:5)
