I have a favorite spot in my backyard beach that I love to go to for my ponderings and conversations with God. I went there this week. It is a point of rocks that you walk out onto one rock at a time, if you understand my meaning. I walked as far out as possible without being immersed in the Caribbean and sat. As the wind blew my hair and God's spirit washed over me, I looked out and realized I was looking out into the middle of two Lighthouses. In my deepest despair, joy or hurt, I am always sitting in the midst of the Lighthouse.
As I looked down to the rock I was sitting on, there were many more underneath that gave strength and foundation to uphold the weight of my body. God is my Rock. He is the deep strength and foundation that holds me up, no matter how heavy my burdens.
As my hair was blowing around me, I realized that all I could smell was the saltiness of the ocean....nothing else. I couldn't small my perfume, shampoo, detergent that my clothes had been washed in or even my perspiration....only the saltiness of the Savior. Salt has been a healing agent for many, many years. It also preserves and adds flavor to your food. The saltiness of the Holy Spirit washed over me, immersing me in healing, flavor and preservation for his Kingdom purpose.
So today on this Kingdom Adventure, I stand with my eyes on my Lighthouse, I sit on the Rock of my strength and am immersed in the Saltiness of his Presence. To God be the Glory!
