I was talking to a good friend of mine yesterday over coffee at Starbucks. The weather was perfect 72° with a nice cool breeze, almost making me feel like we were back in California. We hadn’t caught up in almost 4 years, so I asked him how things had been going. He smiled and said, “I’m trusting God.” Then he told me something that really stuck with me. He said, “I feel like a surfer, showing up to the beach every day.”
He went on to explain that this was his way of saying he shows up every day to spend time with God. He compared it to a surfer who has no control over the waves, but still shows up daily, wetsuit on, board in hand, patiently waiting. He doesn’t know when the big waves will come, but he trusts that they will.
It reminded me of our relationship with God. Just like that surfer, we have to show up daily in His presence, trusting Him to provide what we need. We can’t control what happens, and we can’t make God do anything. But we can be obedient, submitting ourselves daily, depending on Him for direction, for strength, and for that daily bread.
This conversation was such a powerful reminder of the importance of trusting God day in and day out whether we see the waves coming or not.
