A lead line is a weighted rope used aboard ships to measure the depth of the water at their bow. Do we know how deep our faith has become, and do we find confidence, or perhaps complacency, in knowing it is beyond our ability to measure? As we fathom our faith, the depth and intricacy of God can often exceed our ability to determine it, and when we face such unreachable, and unsearchable depths we can often become complacent, and fall back on our own understanding, but among many other things, God’s Holy Spirit adds cord to our lead line, and reveals the deeper truths that wait for us as we sail into the unknown mysteries of God.
