"Come and see what God has done,
how awesome His works in man's behalf!
He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the waters on foot—
come, let us rejoice in Him.
He rules forever by His power,
His eyes watch the nations—
let not the rebellious rise up against him.
Praise our God, O peoples,
let the sound of His praise be heard;
He has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.
For you, O God, tested us;
You refined us like silver.
You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.
You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but You brought us to a place of abundance."
~Psalm 66:5-12
Praise be to our Life Preserver, who longs to bring us life abundantly!
He didn't save us out of the waters and the fire to merely pass time between cradle and grave. He saved us to pass on life -- to be satisfied, soul-breathing, purpose-driven, praise-bearing, life-giving preservers of His existence.
Be Christ. Be life-givers. Be.
