Waters’ fine? It’s human nature to believe that there is no one better able to judge our safety and comfort than we ourselves. Yet, there’s that person who beckons you to jump into the cold lake water teasing you that if you dive in you’ll be fine. But, there’s always that hesitation–that reluctance to believe the voice of reassurance. “Come on. Look at me! Trust me!”
Think about it. Everyone looks for assurances like that. In fact, we crave them. The funny thing is, however, we can’t realize the benefits unless we’re willing to trust the giver first?
God’s Word tells us: “But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.” (Luke 21:14-15).
Jesus calls to each of us, “Come in, the water is fine!” He urges us to commit to His will and we will be fine. With that assurance we can plunge into a life of good works and spiritual health; reassured He would never ask us to jump unless the water was truly very fine. It’s up to us to dive in, knowing the water will be just fine is a matter of trust. Who better to trust than Jesus?
We pray: “Heavenly Father, keep a constant watch over our soul, and give us the courage and grace to prevail over these things destined to occur we know will cause us to stand before the presence of the Son of Man with a clear conscience.” In Jesus name. Amen.”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34)
