Cover Me in Sunshine

Vava's been listening to Pink's Cover Me in Sunshine a lot lately, and my favourite lyrics go 

"tell me that the world's been spinning

since the beginning

and everything will be alright.

Cover me in sunshine."

This is like the refrain of my heart. 

I am not very good at persistent joy. You know when Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to Jesus and then realized his surroundings and gasped and sank? Samesies. 

Jesus was right there. Peter had already been walking ON WATER, and not like years ago in faded memory but right now. He was actively in the middle of a miracle.

But the wonder and proof of it wasn't enough to buoy him up in the face of the storm. 

I sit in my home and hear my kids laugh and see the wonder of this life that I asked God for - through many dangers toils and snares I have already come, yes - but then I read the news and I hear rumbles of a recession rolling in and I tremble. He has held me and blessed me through dangers, toils, and snares - but still my foot steps down through the water like it must, it must - look at it, it's water - if the water does not hold me up, will grace still lead me home? 

And my answer must be the same as Peter's, the same as Pink's -

tell me that the world's been spinning since the beginning and everything will be alright - save me, Lord -

I need to know He's got it all in His hands. 

The world. My world. Me. 

Cover me in sunshine.
