Today: Overboard.


I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless
you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.
John 8:24

Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those
who draw near to God through him, since he always
lives to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 7:25

When all of the bad continues to pile up, we feel like
we’re not far from a breaking point. The broken car,
the hot house, the debt, the struggle… it’s as though
you’re backing closer and closer to the edge of the ship,
and with one more thing placed on you, you fall overboard.

It’s scary. You’re underwater, now feeling completely
hopeless. But instantly you see Jesus’ face staring down
from the water’s surface. He jumped overboard for you.
So what do you do? Do you give up and drown? Or do you
trust FULLY in Him, and reach up for his hand? He can help
you back onboard, and help you get everything in order.

Trust Him. Even if feel like you’re about to go overboard, I
can tell you that you won’t. But if you insist on thinking that
you may end up in the water, TRUST in the fact that He’ll jump
overboard after you, one of His favorite kids.
