What protection the Lord has for us and possessiveness. It makes me feel calmer just knowing he is always with me.
summoned- called with authority
name- To call by name indicates possession or ownership.
you are mine- lets us know how important we are to God and gives us the sense he will take care is us ( as we take care if our own children.)
Waters- a symbol of distress or that which is overwhelming
There was a dark time in my life when the water was overwhelming me and the fire seemed to be lapping at my feet. I cried every morning in the shower, on the way to work and home and at night when sleep alluded me. I thought it was endless but everyday God sent something to tell me He loved me and would see me through to the other side.
He sent me a note from a friend or a call. He brought me the right Bible verse for what I needed that day. He kept me busy in a job that I love so I could actually get through the day. He would send me a rainbow or a beautiful sunset. He allowed peace to slowly permeate my heart. He restored me and allowed a move so I could finally heal.
Since then of course I have gone through different hardships as we all do but what that time taught me is that if I give "it" up to him He will guide me. He is in charge and He has a plan. It is a struggle some days when I feel overwhelmed but I know God is faithful and that He will bring me though whatever comes my way. Praise God!
