This song about a sailor who delights in visiting exotic locations overseas comes from Austria, a country with no seacoast.

Bible in a Year :
Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
What would cause someone to help a competitor? For a restaurant owner named Adolfo in Wisconsin, it was the opportunity to encourage other struggling local restaurant owners adapting to Covid regulations. Adolfo knew firsthand the challenges of operating a business during a pandemic. Encouraged by another local business’ generosity, Adolfo spent his own money to purchase more than two thousand dollars in gift cards to give away to his customers to use at other restaurants in his community. That’s an expression of love that’s not just words but action.
Building on the ultimate expression of love demonstrated by Jesus’ willingness to lay down His life for humanity (1 John 3:16), John encouraged his readers to also take the next step and put love into action. For John, to “lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters” (v. 16) meant demonstrating the same type of love exemplified by Jesus—and that would most often take the form of everyday, practical actions, such as sharing material possessions. It wasn’t enough to love with words; love required sincere, meaningful actions (v. 18).
Putting love into action can be hard because it often requires personal sacrifice or disadvantaging ourselves for another person. Enabled by God’s Spirit and remembering His lavish love for us, we can take the next step of love. .
Reflect & Pray
How have you experienced love in action? How can you take the next step to love someone in a practical way?
Dear Jesus, please help me to follow Your example and take the next step to demonstrate genuine love in my actions today.
The Zuiderzee (South Sea) was a bay in Holland that was sealed off from the ocean and is now called the Ijselmeer (Lake Ijsel). The song is about a kid who finds an old photo album that shows what life was like for the fishermen who operated in the bay before it was sealed off.
Well I read the bible from stem to stern
To see what a feller like me could learn
Well the times get hotter, then the cities burn
It ain’t no different than the caveman time

Now I’m riding on a fountain of fire,
my back to the earth I go higher and higher
why me
