OCEAN (Where Feet May Fail)
Song by Hillsong UNITED
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep my faith will stand
And I will call upon Your Name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start
now
So I will call upon Your Name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine, oh
And You are mine, oh
Spirit lead me where my trust is without
borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever
wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without
borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever
wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without
borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever
wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without
borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever
wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without
borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever
wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Spirit lead me where my trust is without
borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever
wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
Exalt: “Ocean(Where Feet may Fail)”Empower: Proverbs 3:5-6; 2 Cor. 1:9-10; Psalm 37:5, 56:3-4; Matt. 6:25-27; Mark 5:26; Isaiah 26:4; Phil. 4:6-7; John 11:40
Isang magandang paalala ang buhay ni David na ang pagtitiwala sa Diyos ay hindi lamang sa panahon ng tagumpay, katiwasayan o kasaganaan, kundi isang patuloy na pagpili sa bawat panahon ng buhay (a choice to trust God in every season of life). Mula sa pagiging, pastol, sundalo, hanggang sa siya’y maging hari, patuloy siyang nagtiwala sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng paghingi ng gabay sa mga labanan at desisyong kanyang ginagawa. Maging nang siya’y magkasala, ipinakita niya ang pagtitiwala niya sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pagpapakumbaba at pag-amin sa pagkakasala. Ang lahat ng ito ay dahil sa kanyang pagkilala kung sino ang Diyos sa kanyang buhay at sa buhay ng kanyang pinamumunuang bayan (Israel).
Kung nagawang manalig at magtiwala ni David at ng iba pang pinili at tinawag ng Diyos (e.g. Abraham) sa ilalim ng lumang tipan (old covenant), mas magagawa din nating magtiwala ngayong nakapailalim tayo sa bagong tipan (new covenant) dahil mas naging malinaw at buo ang pagkakilala natin sa Diyos (through our understanding of the finished work of Christ).
5 Kay Yahweh ka magtiwala, buong puso at lubusan,
at huwag kang mananangan sa sariling karunungan.
6 Sa lahat ng iyong gawain siya nga'y alalahanin,
upang ika'y patnubayan sa iyong mga tatahakin.
(Kawikaan 3:5-6 MBBTAG)
To trust in God means to depend on Him fully; believing His promises (even when our situation looks impossible); relying on His strength (not on our own ability); and obeying Him (as a result of our trust in Him.)
Ipahinga natin ang ating puso at kaisipan sa Diyos. Walang maitutulong ang anumang kabalisahan o pag-alala.Kung ang mga ibon na walang kakayahang mag-imbak ng pagkain ay pinapakain ng Diyos araw-araw (Matthew 6:25-27), gaano pa kaya tayo na Kanyang nilalang sa Kanyang wangis? Ang Kanyang pag-ibig at katapatan ay hindi nakabase sa panahon o anumang situasyon ng buhay; kaya’t magtiwala tayo sa Kanya; ilagak natin sa Kanya ang ating mga alalahanin.
1. Ang pagkakilala kung sino ang Diyos sa iyong buhay (i.e. experiential knowledge) ay may tuwirang ugnayan sa iyong pagtitiwala sa Kanya. Gaano mo Siya kakilala? Gaano mo nararasan kung sino Siya?
