It would seem we spend the majority of our lives in a state of adjustment. Although this is true, we find ourselves constantly searching for stability and sameness. Within this paradox of life, we discover the Christ, who is the “same yesterday, today and tomorrow” (Hebrews 13:8).
If the metaphor is true, that the waves of life will continue to flow, we do indeed need the best surf instructor possible. Following the One who navigated through life’s joys and sorrows as we all do, surrounded by people who sometimes adored him, and sometimes let him down - - we know we have Someone we can go to who understands our plight.
As the temperatures around us grow hotter, the winds grow stronger and the divisions among us grow deeper, we are called to step out of the proverbial boat in faith. For it is not the boat that will save us, but the One who calls to us from the storm out on the water.
