Uncharted Waters

They say if you're in uncharted waters then it's 
an unfamiliar setting, but I say it's a blessing 
just to be there knowing you don't have the answer 
to every question God throws at you, and the only
thing you can do is lean on him. Yeah I been in them
waters, in that valley, in that wilderness tempted
and tested but I still call it a blessing because 
you gotta go threw to get threw and once you 
gone threw that's a testimony where even when
the enemy wanted you to believe that God left you lonely,
he was directing your steps. Forget that stumbling block
like the song writer said on Christ the solid rock I stand upon 
and no matter how deep the waters, whether it be a river 
or pond I'm a deep sea dive because In this flock me I'm a 
follow the shepherd and any lesser man the devil probably 
would've over taken, he's never left us nor said we were 
forsaken. So I thank God for giving this man of the Most High 
insight and like Apostle Paul he's still fighting the good fight still
humbly seeking God's face getting closer & closer to being Christ-like
he's the shepherd that's leading this flock and even when he thought he was lost 
not knowing what might happen in a certain situation he might not have
referred to this bible verse maybe something like it but I'm a quote it anyway
The Book of James 1:3 "Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience"
so even though he had no idea where he was headed the Lord our God knew
so if God be for you somebody tell me how we gone lose.

A very brave and insightfull write. I totally agree actuall a Native American cured me of the fear of the unknown about 8 years ago...he said you can think of it as lost or you can thing of it as an adventure!!! I like you chose the latter. (threw should be through...small spelling booboo..did not affect the message!Light & Love
