Psalm
69:1
Save
me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
The
canoe creaked once, twice, then a seam began to split. Water rushed in through
the gap and filled the bottom of the small boat. The nearest bank was hundreds
of feet away, and the current was swift. Jill and Ann began to scream and bail
water as fast as they could. Trying to fight panic, they grabbed hold of their
life jackets and plunged into the river. Their counselor saw their plights and
acted. She moved up on them quickly and fished them out of the strong current.
As
we fight to stay afloat in life. It seems like new leaks spring up every day.
Luckily, the Lord of the fleet is watching over us, and He will never let the
water rise above our heads. His loving kindness keeps us afloat and rescues us
when troubled waters threaten us.
Prayer:
I'm trying to keep my head above water, Lord. Thank You for being an island in
the stream, where I can climb out of the water, rest from the struggle, and re
new myself for the swim ahead. Amen.
