TIDAL WATER HEALS
TIDAL WATER HEALS
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
June 8
If you have explored some of the back waters
within a few miles of the ocean
you will know how much difference
tidal water makes.
Here, you come upon a stagnant pool,
partly covered with weeds and slime,
an unpleasant place to be near.
Not far away is another pool
but this is filled with clean,
salt smelling sea water,
and the growing things around it
are pleasant and wholesome.
The difference is that
in one case the living ocean water
pours in twice a day charged with vitality,
and then flows out again
carrying away anything stale or lifeless.
It is this circulation of life
that makes the difference between the two pools.
When the tide is out, we sometimes
see a boat stranded, unable to move,
but we know that this condition is only temporary
because the tide always comes back
and refloats the boat.
As long as you keep up your daily visit with God,
your soul is open to tidal water,
and even if you should
seemingly be left high and dry for a period,
it is only a question of time
before the living ocean
will float you off once more.
Keep your soul flooded
with the tidal water of eternal life and
". . . nothing shall by any means hurt you"
Luke 10:19
