About This Blog

I am just an average joe trying to navigate my way through life with the help of Jesus. I love to listen to God and put what I hear down on paper as a way to cause us to go deeper in our faith. I chose the name Deep Water Musings based upon Jesus calling us to go deep with Him.

In Luke 5:4, Jesus invites Simon to “Put out into the deep water.” And it is through going deep with the Holy Spirit that we can fully lose ourselves and find all that God has for us. The deep waters of the Holy Spirit are always accessible to us because they are always flowing. Ezekiel gives us a beautiful picture of this constantly flowing river, one that begins like a small stream but the more we “jump in” the deeper it gets, and the more we get of the Holy Spirit’s work. In Ezekiel 47:1-5 we find that each new time the water gets measured, the water goes from a trickle (v.2) to ankle deep (v.3) to knee deep then waist deep (v.4), and finally in v.5 we read, “and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.”

It is my hope and prayer that these simple blog posts inspire you to go deeper with Jesus!

Peace & Love, Dave Garrett
