Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. -Psalms 42:7
I’ve got a crazy dream, it’s to drink the ocean...one cup at a time.
Impossible you say? Yes...about as impossible as knowing God in His fulness, a never ending task. Unfathomable depths for sure. What madness it is to desire to drink the eternal. Yet, he hands me a cup each morning and says..."If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink." -John 7:37.
In fact, if you are quiet you can hear the echoes of heavenly voices in the crashing of the waves that beckon "The Spirit and the bride say, COME, and let the one who hears say, COME, and let the one who is thirsty COME, let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. -Revelations 22:17
God offers us a simple cup to drink with, to fill...so come and drink the ocean. The sea of glass that extends out from His celestial throne (Rev. 4:6) invites you to dip your vessel into it's vastness, unknowable depths of infinity. Will you come?
Be humbled by the offer...be awakened by invitation...dare to wade in and drink.

This example I'll remember.
Ok Eric, how can we possibly take in this post with that guy banging on the cowbell? You are strange indeed.
What if the ocean is already in you? >For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. Col 2:9-10
And we're simply to release the water to a 'dry and thirsty land'
John 7:38
Bob,
I hear what you are saying and I surly agree on the reality you point towards. Living in this community where we do, calls for a living stream to be constantly flowing, there is great thirst here. He has been a source that we find ever bubbling up to feed the need for sure. For me the post was more about the water's head and His vastness, His depth, His eternal expanse and the powerful undertow of His life that beckons us to drink to overflowing. I have been in a season of wonderment at His great unknowing, and yet the mystery of being able to know Him too. Hard to put into words...and the image of just having a small cup in the face of such an amazing ocean of possibility arose in my prayer time as a picture of that journey.
