                      Look Ahead


Though the seas are stormy and the way seems rough, look, you will come 
out on the other side.  Take your eyes off the waves and look ahead. Look 
ahead to the place you are set for, the place that is waiting for you, 
the place of milk and honey.

Now you are in the center of the storm but fear not, for I watch over you; 
I am with you in the stormy place.  I am delivering you to the still and 
quiet place, the place where the promises I have made to you over all this 
time will be revealed.  You are on a journey, and every journey that you 
take, whether it be rocky, whether it be smooth and silent, whatever it 
be, I journey with you.  Always and in everything I am beside you, for I 
will never leave you.  I will never forsake you.

Sit and be still, in the boat that you are traveling in right now. That 
is all you need to do: sit and quiet your soul and know that I will 
deliver you from the fowlers snare, from the hands of man, from the 
turmoil and the grief.  You will reach the other side in safety for I will 
not allow a hair on your head to be harmed.  I am your refuge, your great 
and mighty deliverer, your safe and still place.  Sit and quiet your soul 
and wait upon Me.  I am the Lord and I will deliver.
