"Don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity." 1 Timothy 4:12

21 Day Challenge- Day Eight

Some people at the beach stay on the sand, laying out, sitting around.

Others play in the shallow water, letting the waves hit them.

Some snorkel, going a little deeper, just under the surface.

Some scuba dive, going out to the water and diving in.

The deeper someone goes, the more of the ocean they experience.

The deeper you go with God, the more of Him you will experience.

**Read Psalm 42:7 & 8**
My New Living Translation says "I hear the tumult of the raging seas as your waves and surging tides sweep over me. But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life."

David actually wrote this passage out of distress and anxiety. He is experiencing the deep things of God through pain, knowing that God is with him day and night.

God longs to show you deep, hidden truths about Himself. This will happen in only one way: spending time in His presence. Spending time everyday in prayer, praise and listening to Him. Have you played in the sand long enough? Dive in and go deep!
