TROUBLED WATERS
December 2020
A worldwide pandemic, lock downs, election issues, a major snow storm. Lord I am weary. Dear Lord have mercy, my daily prayer. I woke up this morning and this is what I want to sing all day. A 1970 classic, Bridge Over troubled Waters. Simon and Garfunkel song of the year. This song doesn't leave my mind. Could this be you Lord talking to me? I have learned that persistence is usually the Lord prompting us. I google the lyrics and think how appropriate these words are. Are you our bridge over these troubled times? Now I am looking for a scripture to confirm what I think the message is. This is what I find. Ezekiel 32: 1-5 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me saying,"Son of man, take up a lamentation for the Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: You are like a young lion among the nations, and you are like a monster in the seas, bursting forth in your rivers, troubling the waters with your feet and fouling the rivers." Thus says the Lord God: "I will therefore spread my net over you with a company of many people, and they will draw you up on the land. I will cast you out on the open fields, and cause to settle on you all the birds of the heavens, and with you I will fill the beasts of the whole earth. I will lay your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your carcass."
There were no bridges in that day, but there were plenty of nets. Bridges or nets, our God is a help over troubled waters. Be encouraged this season of troubled waters. We know who stirs them and who can calm them. Sing today.
Bridge Over Troubled Water
When you are weary, feeling small. When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all, I am on your side. Oh when times get rough and friends can't be found, like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down. When you're down and out. When you're on the street, when evening falls so hard I will comfort you. I"ll take your part, when darkness comes and pain is all around. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will Lay me down. Sail on silver girl sail on by. Your time has cone to shine All your dreams are on the way. See how they shine. Oh, If you need a friend I"m sailing right behind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind.
