Are you swimming in failures? We all do at one time or another.
I have some good news. First – a quote.
“You do
not drown simply
by
plunging into the water.
You only
drown if you stay
beneath
the surface.”
~Paulo
Coelho
This is a great metaphor that has a ton
of life applications. For today, let’s
consider this one.
So you have fallen into some kind of predicament. Perhaps it is a moral sin, a vice that has
reared its ugly head, or some serious vow that has been broken.
What now?
Wallow if you must, however, I hope you
find the strength and grace to stand once again and overcome your fall.
The great promise from God is this: “My
grace is sufficient for you.” And in
another place we find this: “Cast all your cares on him (Christ), for he
cares for you.”
That is the message I have for you today.
Sure, sometimes we sink down into the
mire of life, but we don’t have to stay stuck in the mud and muck.
God in his mercy and grace continually
stretches out His hand to lift you up onto solid ground again and again.
I used this phrase a couple of weeks ago,
yet it is still pertinent.
For out of
his infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth,
and giveth, and giveth again.
If you feel you are drowning in your sin,
reach out your hand one more time. His
grip is sure and His ground is firm.
Thanks be to God.
