• sanctified common sense

Thank you, Kevin DeYoung. From his book Just Do Something.

"...prayer is the third key in seeking wisdom. But isn't it possible that if we are walking with God in daily prayer, and we have some sanctified common sense, that we should be able to make decisions on the spot once in a while?"

Convicting on both sides. Sometimes I need to just make a decision and quit waffling on stuff, hiding my fear behind the skirts of "I really need to pray about this." On the other hand, I have a lot of common sense, but sometimes it doesn't have enough sanctity. It's great to be able to make good decisions when they need to be made, but we must not forget the qualifier. My decisions only have one chance of being wise: if I'm actually walking in daily prayer.

waiting...

In your ocean I'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crashing on my feet
It's like I know where I need to be
I can't figure out
No, I can't figure out
Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your wave crashes over me
There's only one way to figure out
Will you let me drown
Will you let me drown

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire
Cause I just want
Something beautiful to touch me
I know that I'm in reach
I am down on my knees
And waiting for
Something beautiful


And the water is rising quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can't be sure when it will subside
So I won't leave your side
No I can't leave your side

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire
Cause I just want
Something beautiful to touch me
I know that I'm in reach
I am down on my knees
And waiting for
Something beautiful
