Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and 6 my God.
My [c] soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me."
~Psalm 42:5-7
Deep calls to deep. Although the phrase is well-worn in today's church and society, the profound nature of the statement hasn't tarnished. As a man for whom creation is a poignant illustration of God's hand, I have always enjoyed photography, art and video.
I published a collection of links that for now has only one link (on the right, underneath the previous posts). What an interesting commentary on the worship tendencies of humanity. Very seldom do we attempt to take pictures of things that we care little for, and even less seldom would we go through the trouble of uploading those images to a blog. In watching this continually evolving, never repeating commentary on the passions of the technological world, I have been granted a new insight to worship and the hearts of those nameless faces surrounding me every waking hour.
I long to have worship such a part of my being that my depth is constantly in communion with my Creator. My mind is taken to a childhood memory of trying to get to the bottom of the community swimming pool. A willingness to let go of everything around me, exhale the air from my lungs, and sweep my hands upward suddenly plunged me into the deep with a graceful ease. A place that not everyone goes, and a new understanding of the world.
What am I holding on to in my everyday life? What things seem as important as the air to my lungs? Why am I inhibited in letting go of everything and prostrating myself before my God? May God grant us a boldness in approaching the throne every chance we get.
