When you take swimming lessons, one of the first things the instructor will show you is how to float on your back. It’s the fundamental way of surviving in the water. You will notice that if you take a big breath and hold the air in your lungs, you will float. As soon as you blow the air out of your lungs, you will begin to sink. So if you focus on breathing deeply, keeping good, pure air in your body for as long as possible, while gently moving your arms and legs, you will stay out of trouble.
It’s not a bad metaphor for life. Fill your life with pure, positive, Godly influences and you will stay afloat above your adversity. Empty yourself of such things and you will quickly sink into the depths of temptation and depression.
The water can get pretty deep, but God is a strong flotation device.
Well said my friend.
Thank you Hiram.
Thank you, Ken
