Out of the Depths

I read a Psalm or two every day and this morning a verse in Psalm 95 slowed me down and asked me to stay awhile. Verse four sang, "In His hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights of the hills are His also."

I began to think about the depths of God and looked up verses in my Strong's concordance under the words 'deep' and 'depths.' I like to read verses about the same theme all at one time. It refreshes me, like standing under a gentle waterfall on a hot summer's day.

Let these verses wash over your soul. I write them here in the order they appear in the Bible.

God is in our deep places.
He reveals Himself to us there.
So don't be afraid of the deep places,
for His love is everywhere.
