Go Deep

Encouragement for your daily walk with God

The captain of a submarine was once asked, "How did the storm last night affect you?" The officer said, "Storm? We didn't even know there was one!"

My Uncle, a naval veteran, told me about an area beneath the surface of the ocean known to sailors as the "cushion of the sea" There, the waters are not agitated, regardless what may be raging above. 

As Christ followers mature, they find a place like that in the Lord. It’s a place of refuge when the storms of life are raging. Christ called it a place of rest [Matthew 11:28]. Paul called it a place of peace [Philippians 4:7]. 

There is a place of “perfect peace” for the Christ follower who is willing go deep—the ones who trust in God and keep their minds focused on Him. 

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.  Isaiah 26:3
