but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Swimming lessons

When a child is being taught how to swim, he/she will most likely be holding on to a “boogie board” for support enabling them to float. That girl or boy will put all their trust in that board for them to “survive” the scary waters during that swimming lesson.

When we go through a new season in our lives, new challenges will cross our paths. We will have to learn how to swim in these waters right from scratch.

That’s the way it is with God. He is our “boogie board” whom we can trust so that we would be able to survive all the “swimming lessons” called life.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you

Isaiah 43:2a

Trust God during every new swimming lesson, because if you try to swim on your own, you would most assuredly sink.

Try again, this time with God.

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he [b]meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1 - NKJV
