Counsel for the Deep Waters of the Heart
How often do you take counsel in your own soul? How often are you ruminating and processing and mulling over your own thoughts? Most of us meditate WAY MORE OFTEN than we think we do; and most of us do it alone. The Bible cautions against taking counsel in our own soul as it leads to despair and feelings of defeat, Psalm 13:2. The Bible also teaches that our hearts are deep waters. The ministry and resources from Into the Waters help people enter into their deep waters with God’s help, i.e. not alone. He sheds light.
The very first creative act detailed in the Bible is the Holy Spirit hovering over waters of the deep, Genesis 1:2. Only darkness was over the surface of that deep until God spoke and the Spirit executed the command to separate light from darkness. “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. Have you ever thought about the light of Day 1? What was it? It is not the light of day 4 when the sun, moon, and other heavenly lights were created by God.
In your life right now, is there darkness in your understanding? Where is there confusion that needs God’s holy light to penetrate and counsel you? Do you have areas that feel without form and empty, that need to be filled with God’s goodness?

God still sends His Spirit to hover over the surface of the deep. He still issues commands through the person of the Holy Spirit. He sends His Spirit to create and renew the face of the ground, Psalm 104:30. Jesus gives His Spirit as gift to those who love Him, John 14:26-27. The Spirit still hovers over the deep and executes the commands of God to separate light from darkness, to counsel and draw out meaning, to give understanding. May you be open to spending time in His presence. Time flies in these moderator led settings! Position to process your thoughts under the protective life of the Spirit! He longs to turn mourning into dancing and to give you beauty for ashes! Peace be still! Sign up!
