We so often resist the thing that God intends for our good.
This summer, I have have opportunity to use a spectacular swimming pool. The only thing is, I have to do whatever it takes to maintain it. That means cleaning it and getting all of the things out of it that interfere with the operation.
Well, there is a frog problem. The frogs love the pool, but if they stay in the water, the chlorine will kill them. So, the person caring for the pool must make sure the frogs are whisked out of the dangerous waters.
Three days ago, a huge frog appeared at the edge of the pool. In effort to spare him. I took up the frog-catcher and went after him. He did everything possible. Of course, the first thing he did was to dive into the water, because it was familiar to him.
I went after him with a vengeance and told him in no uncertain terms that he would not prevail. He ignored me. I went after him for three days, hoping to be able to deliver him from the chemical that I knew would be his undoing.
Unlike all of the others, he was able to escape. Last night, I got him out of the bottom of the pool, dead.
Soldier of The Cross, we do not know what is the best for us. He alone knows.
It feels like we know. We know what make us comfortable. We know what sustains our environment. We know what creates fear in us.
We have been named, called, and adopted. Underneath are the everlasting Arms. Is it true or not? The question isn't about fear or feeling, the issue is God's Word.
Can He be trusted?
Tell Him. Aloud
