Currents
2 He said:
“In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
3 You hurled me into the depths,
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
swept over me. Jonah 2:2-3
This past week I was blessed to be on vacation where I relaxed and reflected. I found myself watching the currents of the ocean, and then I was able to snorkel and let the current of the ocean move me along. It reminded me how we can be taken away from the things that matter most so easily today if we fight against the current. I also thought about how God is always there to protect us, and guide us. But what I thought about even more was what could happen if we let the current that God has for our life take us and carry us forward. Too many times we fight against His current and don't get anywhere with our struggles. If we just learn to relax and let the current move us along instead of fighting against it, then we can live a life that is more fulfilling. I hope that you all can remind yourself that God has you in His arms, and he can guide and protect as long as you let Him.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
