During our stay in Koh Chang, Thailand we settled a few nights beside these cliffs.

The sky gray, the expanse harsh, and the sea devouring.

A ruthless kind of beauty.

These pictures now bring to mind the Psalmists sorrowful cry:

"Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me."- Psalm 42:7

Isn't that how life is sometimes? Ruthless wave upon wave sweeping over us.

But - as we stand upon the Rock - we are not overcome.

"Why, my soul, are you downcast?

Why so disturbed within me?

Put your hope in God,

for I will yet praise him,

my Savior and my God." - Psalm 42:11

and with this hope we confidently stand.
