Stay Afloat

The person who can swim has no need to fear deep water. That person can stay on top and survive. The one who can’t swim has reason to fear.

The same is true spiritually. In situations of life that sink others, believers can focus on the One who can keep them afloat and thus survive. Does the Bible address it? Glad you asked.

James 1:12 

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.

1 Peter 4:12-13 

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when His glory is revealed.

Let Him keep your head above water.  It’ll soon be over. Give it some thought.
