Psalm 81:15
The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves unto
him; but their time should have endured forever.
Water stretched out in every direction, as far as the man could
see. He didn't know what direction would lead him most quickly to safety. He
kept swimming, not knowing whether the shore was any closer or not. Each
direction he tried seemed as hard as the last. The current was against him, no
matter which way he turned. He was so tired. Every muscle ached. His heart
filled with fear and anxiety. He wondered if the nightmare would ever end.
Such is the fate of one who realizes too late that God is who He
says He is. All the futility of life comes crashing in. Sadness and frustration
will reign. God wants us to turn to Him so we never have to face such despair.
Christ is the life jacket that keeps us afloat when life gets too much for us.
Nothing else will suffice.
