I read recently ‘You don’t drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there.’ but it’s not always possible to rescue oneself, is it? We either need to wear a life jacket, or have a lifeguard present. It made me think how much we need our spiritual life jackets on every day of our lives or we might drown in the circumstances that try to overwhelm us.
So what is our life jacket? It’s the armour of God and His promises.😊 Each day they keep us afloat when everything around us seems to shout it’s not working, or not this time! When we forget the promises of God we will sink into the problems, into the fear or the worries.
All the promises of God are yes and amen in Jesus which is why God wants us to fix our eyes on Jesus who is our life guard. We will find everything we will need in Him, by being united with Him, because He has promised His grace will be more than enough for today’s challenges.
So let’s make sure we put our life jacket on each day before we get our kayak out! And make sure we have Jesus as the captain of our boat so He can keep us safe wherever we have to go.😊
And if you forgot to put it on, put it on now, in case the pull of the current of circumstances tries to overwhelm you or pull you away! And if you feel like you’re already beginning to drown, call out to Jesus and allow Him to rescue you. Romans 10:13 NLT For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Whatever is happening in your life, remember you do have a lifeguard, His name is Jesus, and He loves you deeply. Thank You Lord. Amen.
