More Sea Monsters

Tossed about
by the waves,
Blown over
by the wind,
Up and down ,
To and fro,
The swirls
of doubt begin.

Storms
That rage,
Rise within
Pounding
Shores of thought
Tempest strong
‘tween
Right and wrong
Making all seem
Wrought!

Ocean deep
Hide beneath
sea monsters
dark and mean
one named pride
One, self will
Slithering sin
Unseen.

He who walks
Upon the seas
Knows what
lies beneath
For nothing is too
Strong or sleek
To conquer and defeat

He slays
Them all!
With one word
Oceans become still.
The winds die down.
The waves are gone.
My worries
He did kill.

He calls me,
One, who walks on water.
How can I not concede?
To believe in Him,
to walk with Him
upon The great glass sea..

Is. 5:20 “But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud.” [1]

 James 1:5-7
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
[2]

Ephesians 4: 14-15
 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
[3]

Revelation 15:1-2
I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name.
