The Waves and The Plan

 
The ocean waves rush to the shore
Crashing on rock and sand.
Then they slip back into the sea,
As if it had been planned.

You might think they labor in vain,
Working to no avail.
Rushing the shore time and again
Seeming, each time, to fail.

But with each run upon the shore
They carry back to land
The rubble tossed from wave to wave
Until it becomes sand.

The shoreline grows wider in time,
Or great cliffs cave and fall,
And wave on wave of rushing sea
Can shape or break it all.

There is a power in His plan,
Though often we don’t see
Just how the greater picture forms
Outside of little me.

Be like those waves, obedient
To that which God calls you.
For, like them, you may very well
Have greater work to do!

1 Corinthians 12:6
There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
