What did the deep black waters see
Before they found me?
Were they sent?
Did they decide to melt
From some mountainside
To come tumbling down into my life?
Am I just the lucky one?
Maybe it’s all three.
What did the deep black waters see
Which made them come to me? 
Did they flow
To the call of God above?
Did they choose to help my cause?
Will they wash away the black
Deep in me?
Every change gives us an opportunity to check what’s going on inside. With God the internal trumps the external every time. God’s more interested in our holiness than He is our comfort. In fact, He will often arrange a little discomfort to bring out the attitudes which really dwell inside us…the ones we try so hard to deny until they pop out in some moment of stress and become undeniable.
Our circumstances are not our main problem. How we respond on the inside to our circumstances, that is the primary issue at hand.
In your current set of life-changes ask yourself:
- Is my attitude through this change pleasing to God?
- Do I blame my attitude on my life? If so that has to change. You not your circumstances should control your attitude.
- What is the real reason I feel the way I do? Most circumstances only bring an already existing attitude to light; Where did yours start?
- What are some steps I could take to change my attitude even before I change my circumstances?
Here’s to change!
