Lessons Learned

 

It lay there on the beach today,
Washed in upon the tide.
As it waited for the next wave,
It drew me to its side.
 
I knew that it would not survive
If that wave never came,
But it lay there in perfect peace
And praised God’s holy name.
 
It bore the mark upon its back
Of Christ on Calvary.
It reflected back heaven’s light
And not earth’s misery.
 
I thought I heard a voice whisper
A verse I knew by heart,
“Be still and know that I am God”.
It surely fit the part.
 
It lay there not knowing its fate,
Wearing its faith out loud.
Just being still, trusting in Him,
Humble in awe, not proud.
 
The waves were rolling in closer,
So I went on my way,
But I won’t forget the lessons
Learned on the beach today.
 
I’m still not sure which one it was
That I was there to see;
Being still in His glory or
Faith in adversity.
 
Psalm 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
