Deep Calls to Deep!
“Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.” Psalm 42:7
“In God’s presence, I dive past the surface clamor, and the deep within me answers the Deep beyond me. The hush becomes a hymn only the soul can hear.” Imagine a submarine plunging beneath the ocean’s surface, where the noise of the world fades away, and a profound stillness envelops you. This is where true connection occurs — deep meeting deep. Just as Moses entered the thick cloud to commune with God, we, too, are invited to dive into the depths of our spirits, seeking that intimate fellowship with our Creator. “Deep calls to deep,”
Consider the transformative power of contemplative prayer. By repeating a verse, we can create a serene rhythm that draws us closer to God’s heart. As we meditate on Ephesians 3:18-19, we grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. Our spirits begin to flutter like the wings of a bird taking flight, soaring above the present moment and into the embrace of divine love.
Ephesians 3:17-19 says, “… may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
Let us not forget how valuable our silent encounters with God are. As Richard Foster said, “Depth meets depth in silence.” This quietude allows us to lower our barriers and emerge into a realm where we can truly listen. In this space, we find understanding that surpasses mere human wisdom because, as 1 Corinthians 2:10 reveals, it’s through the Spirit that we discover the depths of God.
When we embrace this invitation to “go beneath the noise,” we are freed from the distractions that pull our attention. As the ocean is infinitely vast, so too is the love that God has for each of us. And like a submarine exploring the deep sea, we discover hidden treasures in His Word — revelations that illuminate our paths and enrich our souls. Amen. 1 Corinthians 2:10 says, “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”
Prayer for the Day!
Dear Lord, we thank You for calling us to a place where Your depths meet our depths. Brethren, may the Holy Spirit help you to quiet the noise around you and within you, so that you may experience the fullness of God’s love that casts out fear. May He steady your heart like still waters and tune your spirit to His gentle whisper. Where anxiety shouts, may His peace speak louder. Where weariness lingers, may His presence renew your strength. May the Holy Spirit align your desires with the Father’s will, sharpen your discernment, and awaken holy hunger. May your prayers rise like incense and your worship become a sanctuary where worry cannot live. And as you yield, may rivers of living water flow from within you to refresh weary hearts around you. In Jesus name. Amen.
