Oceans deep

Psalm 77:19, "Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, though Your footprints were not seen."

Asaph was having insomnia.  He was troubled and hence was having trouble sleeping.  So he cried out to God, but God had not answered Him.  So, to comfort himself, he remembered all that God had done for His people in the past.  

I love this part of his remembrance.  As Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, they get to the Red Sea and the people begin grumbling (again).  How were they going to get out of this?  In our finite minds, we don't see solutions because we only grasp what is visibly possible.  But God.  But God sees the impossible and makes it possible...using these things to draw people closer to Him.  Yeah, He could have chosen a different route, perhaps...but His path led through the sea, through mighty waters.  Do you trust Him when you hit that dead end and it looks as though you are out of options?  Do you trust Him to lead you into the mighty waters knowing His footprints might not be seen, but you indeed will be carried through  When sleepless times come, do you remember how He was there...even when the answer didn't look like you thought it would, but He was there in it?  

It's a sweet place to rest.
