Riding High

Riding High

Consider the surfer that rides the waves. He is able to be lifted up so high and be carried along with the speed of the wind and the water. However it is not by his own strength that he does these things. All he needs to do is to get himself in a position where he can catch the wave.

He cannot make the wave and he cannot blow the wind. He cannot even dictate how high or fast the wave will carry him. All that he can do is catch that wave and see where it takes him to. This is part of the joy and thrill of the ride. It is not knowing where it will carry you, but still enjoying the journey.

My child I desire your life to be this kind of journey in my presence. All that you need to do is come into my presence and get yourself in a position to catch my wave. Stop trying to make the wave or to create the right circumstances. Simply trust me. You cannot dictate where I will carry you or where you will end up. All you can do, is get yourself into position and to surrender.

I know what your future holds and I know the rocks that lurk under the surface of the water. I also know the tides and the seasons and I hold them all in my hand. So trust me. Trust me to carry you to the place that you need to go. For I know your needs better than you know them yourself. Do not try to control this journey or to dictate to me where you should go. Trust me.

Trust that I know exactly where you must go. You will find that often the direction that the wave carries you is not where you intended to go. Let go of your control child. Let me surprise you. For I delight to give you good things. I delight to show you wonders. You will not see these wonders if you plot your own course or decide for yourself where you will go.

Rather put that control into my hand. Then as you wait on me and as you throw your hands up and finally give up to me, I will lift you high and carry you. I will raise you high above your circumstances and where before you felt as if your feet were in mud, you will suddenly soar above the ground.

I will lift you high and you will feel the wind in your face and a new thrill in your spirit. You will be free from restrictions and the things that tie you down. So come child. Start to enter deep into my presence and then watch as the wave begins to swell and as I carry you away.
