the Red Sea

for the Israelites, as they fled their enemy,

that sea was a major obstacle

fear-inducing I'd imagine

for us on this side of history's timeline

the Red Sea is the powerful place of God "making a way" 

a place where we say, "of course it parted"

and as I was listening to this song today

and specifically the lyric, "I'm running through parted waves"

it reminded me of the power of worship

worship being a place of contrast at times

where we can bring any obstacle big or small, 

fear big or small and put it under the weight of a song

and as hearts hear truth, all things contrary to truth quiet

even if just for the duration of a song

the waves of worry part and peace comes, always carrying to us

faith, and in this now moment, we hear our soul say 

"of course it parted"
