Deep

I've been told I am a deep thinker. Last night watching a movie I listened for the deep quotes, thoughts and comments that should make us think. It wasn't even a movie most would consider "deep!"

There is good and bad to being a deep thinker. Sometimes it takes the life out of a party. Sometimes it stops the flow of life when I have to "think through" every decision. Doing my best to be spontaneous, and finding it hard some days. Going with the flow can be challenging...

Things caught up with me last week. By Friday afternoon I was done. My overthinking put me in a place that caused me to "melt." I realized once again that I need me time. If I don't get that, I overstimulate. Thankfully, like He always does, YHWH made a way for me to find some time alone. And, He made the days beautiful so I could even be outside raking leaves!

As I looked for Bible Verses about deep I was reminded of Psalm 42. I was gong to put only verse 7, but to be honest - this whole chapter is amazing.

For the leader. A maskil of the descendants of Korach:

Just as a deer longs for running streams,God, I long for you. I am thirsty for God, for the living God!

When can I come and appear before God?

My tears are my food, day and night, while all day people ask me, “Where is your God?”

I recall, as my feelings well up within me, how I’d go with the crowd to the house of God, with sounds of joy and praise from the throngs observing the festival.

My soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you groaning inside me? Hope in God, since I will praise him again for the salvation that comes from his presence.

My God, when I feel so downcast,I remind myself of you from the land of Yarden, from the peaks of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

Deep is calling to deep at the thunder of your waterfalls; all your surging rapids and waves are sweeping over me.

By day Adonai commands his grace, and at night his song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, under pressure by the enemy?

My adversaries’ taunts make me feel as if my bones were crushed, as they ask me all day long, ‘Where is your God?’ ”

My soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you groaning inside me? Hope in God, since I will praise him again for being my Savior and God.

Today, friends, be reminded that your Creator is always there for you. It doesn't matter what deep thoughts try to take over... HE is there listening and loving you. When you STOP to take time to LISTEN to those Words of LOVE, then you can move forward in freedom and HOPE and FAITH.

Let the waterfalls of His DEEP LOVE flow over you today. Then, share that LOVE with those around you.

Love and blessings,

Rose

I wish I could find photos of a water fall from Israel. Not sure where they are so... this. photo comes close. A water fall in the desert where David hid from Saul looks similar to this one. Ein Gedi is my favorite National Park in Israel.
