Panic
You scream.
You fling your arms out.
You kick your legs around.
You choke on water.
You lose it.
You give up.
You can't go on.
And what does every single person tell you to do when drowning?
1. DON'T PANIC
2. Stop flailing around
3. Slowly swim or float around and wait for instructions.
You see, in times we don't feel in control we begin to panic. We don't see any future and we know it's over from there.
It's the same way with God. A lot of times we feel at our end.
We scream in frustration.
We fling ourselves out.
We kick our legs out.
We choke.
We lose it.
We give up.
We just can't go on.
We simply cannot go one more day, so we panic. We try to take control and run things our way. We begin to drown. We are choking and being sucked into the depths of everyday life. Did you know the whole time God is saying:
1. Don't Panic
2. Stop flailing around
3. Wait for instruction
God's got you. God's got you. God's got you.
You get that? HE. HAS. YOU. He won't let you drown.
It's time you quit taking things into your own hands. God already has a plan for you and you're just making it worse.
The problem with our generation is we want things our way and we want them now! We try to go ahead and take care of things even though we know God has perfect timing.
This post is just a reminder today.
Quit choking.
Quit screaming.
Quit moving.
And just keep swimming.
So, in the wise words of Nemo's Dory
