Step out of the ease in Comfort

“Believing Your Words

my heart hears You say.

‘Step out of the comfort

and ease in the boat.

Place one foot down,

and try not to look.

Keep your eyes on

My hand

and

NOT on the land.

There’s fear

either way;

keep looking

My Way.

I know your

heart’s pounding;

that’s normal too.

Child,

Your safe here on water.

I’ve got Firm hold

Of you!’’

“But his bow remained in

Strength,

And the arms of his hands

Were made strong

By the hands of the Mighty

God of Jacob

(From there is the Shepherd,

The Stone of Israel),

By the God of your father

Who will help you,

And by the Almighty

Who will bless you

With blessings of

Heaven above,

Blessings of the deep

That lies beneath…

Up to the utmost bound

Of the everlasting hills.”

Genesis 49:24-26 (NKJV)
