TRUST

A visitor was once walking along a high part of the shore of the Dead Sea when he lost his balance & fell into the water. He could not swim & in desperation lest he should sink & be drowned, he began to fling his arms about.

At last he was exhausted & felt he could do no more. Then he found something happen: the water bore him up. The water of the Dead Sea is so heavy with salt & other minerals that when he lay still in it he found he floated on the surface.

He could not drown so long as he resigned himself to the power of the deep. So too it is with us. There is a power beneath us & around us waiting to bear us up. We should cease from all our struggling & fruitless efforts & let the power of God uphold us.

Pro 3:5-6 (MEV): “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”

“If you're missing joy and peace, you're not trusting God.” -  Joyce Meyer.
