The other day I watched a short clip of a car driving into a flooded area on a relatively major road. The water came well above the bottom of the car doors but it kept going and succeeded in reaching the other side. Great, you may think, but then the car conked out. The driver tried in vain to get it going but it would not start. The damage had been done. Should he have not entered the water? I don’t think I would have as there was no way of knowing just how deep the water was.
Deep water is a problem not only for cars but also for us. As we travel through life, we often find ourselves surrounded with oceans of grief or crashing waves of broken relationships. We need help and God’s help doesn’t have a warranty which will run out. His support is always there.
Are you in deep water? Reach up and grab God’s hand.
