STAY AFLOAT (a reminder)

Matthew 14:31
 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

The world and all its issues are like a big sea which each of us have to walk on.

Every step we take leads us forward progressively to fulfil our goals, to accomplish our purpose.

I saw this definition of afloat in the dictionary.

Definition: Afloat
making successful progress under one's own steam.

For us to stay afloat we need to do these

* stay light:
get rid of all unnecessary burden of sin, guilt, hate, tribalism, religions, worry and so on.

Romans 13:12 - 14
The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in licentiousness and lewdness, not in strife and envy.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

* Focus on Jesus

Hebrews 12:2
 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

* Put on our air bag

 Ephesians 6:13
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [STAND!!! afloat]

2Corinthians 10:4
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

* Make sure our airbag has air in it: we need to be filled!!! with the right content . . . the Spirit

Ephesians 5:18b
And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

* Know when to stay in the boat

Hebrews 10:25
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaches

 If Jesus didn't send you please don't go.

No matter how much we have fallen, we don't run away from God, instead we run to Him for mercy. Stay with our local assembly.

STAY IN THE BOAT!

I see us staying afloat as we march on this year.

We will not sink but stay above in this world

We will finish this journey and be welcomed home by Jesus the Christ.

Prayer: Lord I will not sink, I will stay afloat by the power of your Holy Spirit. I will be steady that I will be strong enough to keep many afloat.

God bless you real good.

Love
@ the watcher
