Rolling in the Deep

I believe that this phrase in the Grammy winning song by Adele decribes what is currently happening to the Restoration.  We are running out of money.  The structural work done on the roof has eroded away most of the funds we had and if we do not get a serious infusion of money........well, you get the picture. 

I told their Highnesses yesterday that even though we are at a crucial juncture in the Restoration, we, a praying Church, believe that help is on the way.  It is perhaps one of the greatest utterances of faith I have made in my life.  But I am supported by the belief that when we pray, and God sends help, it is very much like a tsunami.  Way out at sea, these waves are nearly imperceptable.  They are low in amplitude (height) but very long in wavelength (distance from one crest to the other crest).  As they approach the shore they mount up and become the mighty waves that we know and fear.  God's help when dispatched is much like this - imperceptable.  But when it nears us it mounts up like a mighty wave and swamps us with His Blesssings. 



So I like the other believers are standing on the shore.  We are looking out to the horizon waiting for God's help.  We cannot see it.  We trust that his help is rolling in from the deep.  It is said that the expression "rolling in the deep" is an adaptation of the UK slang phrase 'roll deep' which means to always have someone's back.  Surely the Almighty has our back?
