“Either you decide to stay in the
shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.” –Christopher
Reeves
Have you ever felt
the undercurrent in the ocean? I experienced something a little worse
once…I think they call it riptide. Whatever it was just about took me
somewhere south of Australia! It didn’t take me long to realize I was not
in the kiddie pool back home.
od’s Word say?:
Have you ever felt the undercurrent of life? You
feel overwhelmed and on the verge of being swept out to sea by stress,
disappointment, anxiety, failure, etc.
What does God’s Word say?:
Though
I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand
against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. Psalm
138:7
When you pass through the waters, I will be with
you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When
you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you
ablaze. Isaiah 43:2
I lift up my eyes to the
hills— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the
Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches
over you will not slumber; Psalm 121:1-3
I can’t think of anything more encouraging
than the knowledge that when we are drowning in life the Lord is there to throw
us a life vest. He is the One who is our rescuer!
Are you dog paddling and drifting out to sea?
Why not call on Christ with your last gasp of air? Take it from me, He is your
best chance of getting back on dry land!
Just a thought!
