LIFEBOAT

Lets pretend that you are in the middle of the ocean in a lifeboat.  You have a choice to make.  You can stay in your lifeboat with your issues, your problems and your difficult circumstances or you can start chunking. 

If you decide to stay in the lifeboat, with the issues that ransack your joy and the people that steal your peace, your lifeboat will eventually begin to sink.  Little by little you go deeper and deeper and find yourself unable to breathe. 

Do you want to sink?  What’s the other option?

 The other option is to start chunking.  Get rid of the excess that is weighing you down.  Throw out all of the clutter and clean up your space.  Remove the toxic people that poison your life.  Send away your insecurities and fears.  Eliminate everything from your life that doesn’t bring you joy and peace. 

Soon the only thing that is left in your lifeboat is you and the Lord and that my friend is all you need. 

  It is through Him that all things are possible.  It is with Him that you gain strength.  He comforts you in all of your troubles.  He gives you His grace and His mercy.  He washes away your sins and makes you new.  He boosts your confidence, believes in you, rewards you, fills you and restores you.  He will keep you going when you grow weary. He is wise and He is patient.  He LOVES you. 

Why would you need anything else in your lifeboat when you have Christ?  You wouldn’t.  Christ is your lifesaver, He is your all in all.  You have all you need with Him.

And if your lifeboat begins to sink, He will carry you because He walks on water!

Philippians 4:19King James Version (KJV)

19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
