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"

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 faith to us

and in this now moment, 

we hear our souls echo

what the Holy Spirit is always saying, 

"of course it parted"
