The Far Side of the Ocean

"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the ocean, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." - Psalm 139:9-10

Beyond Humanity



I lift up my eyes to the hills —
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip —
He who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you —
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm —
He will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
--Psalm 121

For 2008 my resolve is to remember WHOM I belong to and WHO watches over me. I want to rest in His will, taking only paths that are secure and firm and strongly guided and directed by Him. And the only way to be sure that I am on that right path is to dig deep in God’s Word and carefully pray and evaluate if what is before me is aligned with it.

The past year has not been easy, and I do not know what lies ahead, but I cling to the truth of God’s promises and His sovereign hand.
