THE BUBBLES ARE ALWAYS RIGHT

I learned that when a diver was deep under water, he could lose all sense of direction. He becomes weightless - no sense of gravity - and swimming without a natural source of light causes him to become disoriented & swim sideways, thinking that he is rising to the top.

In fact, a diver can become so convinced that his perception is correct that he continues to swim in the wrong direction until he eventually runs out of air & drowns.

My friend then said that the only way to keep this from happening is to follow the direction of your air bubbles. "No matter how you feel, or what your brain may tell you," he said, "the bubbles are always right."

The world today is like a group of scuba divers: disoriented & void of direction. Absolutely convinced that their perception of right & wrong is correct, they ignore the warnings, while the bubbles of truth tell them otherwise. Instead, they willfully follow the directions of other disoriented expert divers who say, "Live like this . . . believe like this . . . think this way . . . go that way" - and all the while their tanks are running out of oxygen.

The Word of God has been given to us that we may have direction for living.

As Christians, we have no excuse for moving through life disoriented; the verses in Scripture are like the air bubbles from a diver - they show the way up.

Make sure you’re swimming in the right direction . . . just follow the “bubbles”!
