Have you ever gone off the deep end and realize you went too far?Many times beach lovers find that they have waded out farther into the ocean than they thought. They ignore the posted warnings and disregard the lifeguards' signal, thinking that they know their own limitations. But soon you find them bobbing up and down, waving their arms for help, once they realize that indeed they are too deep and too far out into the ocean to make their way back safely.
You may have experienced that feeling of being in over your head in the water or even in business. You didn't mean to get so carried away; you thought that you could handle the waves and undertow on your own. But self-reliance will lure you into deep waters without your even noticing.
When you think that you can rely on your own ability, skill, or strength to sustain you, be warned.
Eventually your body, mind, or spirit will run out of strength.
If you find that you are out of your depth and need a little help, rely on God. If you stay within his sight and heed his guidelines, you can protect yourself from getting in too deep. God knows just how much you can handle. He also knows how to rescue you if you slip off too far from him. Ask him to throw you a life preserver if needed. Then stay close to his counsel to ensure your security.
Selah people' and friends determine in what areas of life you are struggling to keep your head above water. Examine some ways that you can engage your faith to rely on God for help in those situations.
"Let us go over the falls for God and whatever it is He calls us to do. Don't worry with him we will always come to the surface and be safe even when we don't see a lifeguard on duty He will be there."
Your pastor,
Rev Patrick Muston
