Whispers of His Power – FEBRUARY 13

Our waters are shallow because His were deep.  In Psalm 69.2 we see what He suffered:  I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow Me.  For us there is no overflowing:  they shall not overflow thee is His promise.  For Himself those awful depths.

Is there anything we can keep back from such a Saviour?

O Lord, take our all, our uttermost all;  do with us what Thou wilt if only Thy Name may be glorified, Thy heart satisfied.

oooOOOooo
