CAN YOU SWIM?

Today's reading: Ezekiel 25-27

Maybe our enemy is whispering to you, Give up. It's not worth it.

He may have posed the question to you, Is it worth all this faith stuff?

Let me share with you a verse that hopped off the page of my Bible and landed full in my heart this morning.

"For the Sovereign Lord says: I will make Tyre an uninhabited ruin. You will sink beneath the terrible waves of enemy attack. Great waves will swallow you." Ezekiel 26:19 NLT

Maybe you are unaware of Tyre's history and background. Maybe you haven't even a clue as to where they might be located on a map.  Allow me to sum it up for you: they were enemies of God.

That's why He imposed judgement  on them.

Think about being told God would allow you to sink beneath the waves of your enemy.

Thought about it? The hopelessness? The impending doom? The darkness?

Now, child of God, read this...

"He reached down from heaven and rescued me; He drew me out of deep waters. He delivered me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me. They attacked me at the moment when I was weakest, but the Lord upheld me. He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because He delights in me." Psalm 18:16-19 NLT

These verses refer to what God does for those who seek Him, love Him, serve Him, follow Him and stay the course with Him.

Is it worth it to keep following Him? YES!

Is it worth it to continue keeping His commands? YES!

Is He our only hope? YES!

No matter how well you can swim, you need the Lord.
