There is a sport I find fascinating, it could be because I can’t swim and find too much water threatening to me; this sport requires a large body of water, namely the ocean. You’ll hear it’s participants say things like “catch a wave or riding the wave” and that is exactly what they are doing. Standing on a surf board with perfect balance as the waves head to the shore. However, when I hear the phrase ” riding the waves” it brings to mind a family of 8 locked in a boat riding the water for 40 days and 40 nights as the rain fell; not knowing when the rain would stop or their journey end.

Can you put yourself in the boat? How are you handling riding the waves? What are you expecting to find at the end of the journey? Is the falling rain causing you anxiety and stress? Sometimes life with it’s ups and downs seem like we are riding uncertain waves trying to keep our balance, unfortunately; sometimes we fall into the turbulent waters of life. Just as the family of 8 were shut in the boat that saved them from the devastation that engulfed the world, there is a lifeline for all who need balance in life today; Jesus the Christ is that lifeline.

The good news is that Jesus abdicated His home in glory, came to a sinful planet named earth to save its inhabitants who had fallen into the cesspool of sin created by Satan and his fallen angels to destroy mankind. Jesus paid the ultimate price for you and me with His blood, freely He gave of Himself that we might find in Him shelter in the time of storm, peace in the time of turmoil and a lifeline from the waters of strife. By joining our will to the will of Jesus the Christ we become part of a 4 strand code not easily broken.

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit join us in our battle to defeat the tempter and his agents. The waters of life may still have times of raging, but; He who calms the seas walks with you and me, we can ride the waves with perfect balance for Jesus holds us up. There is a requirement we must be willing to meet, give your life to Christ; for the salvation He offers is free.
