I’ve never been a great swimmer. In fact, I was always last for every single race. If I was lucky, I was second last. Even at camp when there was a waterpark, I freaked out. But what I always forgot was that there was a lifeguard that would watch at ALL times.

I can’t drown because it’s their job to protect me. Even if I almost did, they would rush in to save me. This is just like God. He has our back; He will protect us, and He won’t let us get swept away by turbulent waters.

Keep in mind though, when we’re walking with God but that doesn’t mean things will be rosy. Paul writes to the Romans in chapter 8 and later on in verse 36 — he mentions that there will be tribulations.

Life is not rosy but when you’re with God you know that whether there is a drought or there is a rainy season, He’s with you always. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8) and he promised in Hebrews 13: 5 that He won’t EVER leave us nor forsake us.

That’s why I love this line — “Whether I sink. Whether I swim. It makes no difference when I’m beautifully in over my head”

So, you sink a little, maybe drown but you will walk on water and rise above the waves.

God bless,
Susan.
