| Bridge Over Troubled Water Apr. 29, 2009 |
Water can be easily manipulated or troubled. Troubled meaning disturbed or disrupted. For example, a glass of water is unsurprisingly distressed by vibrations; a stream of water is effortlessly rippled by skipping rocks, and the ocean is continuously aggravated by the pull of the moon. Water can take the form of whatever container it happens to be in and can change form with rising and falling temperatures. In other words, it doesn't take much to cause a reaction in water. Likewise, life can be just as easily troubled by outside circumstances. Life can change from one second to the next and it doesn't take much to create a chain reaction that can sometimes seem impossible to stop. Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever felt like you were in hot water? Are there times when the ground around you feels shaky? Are you currently experiencing the effects of a chain reaction? These are the times when we need to trust God the most. He is a bridge over troubled water. He is capable of making shaky ground feel solid again. He knows exactly what is needed to help us cross safely to the other side of our situation. There is no situation too fierce or out of control that God can't calm or help us cross safely through. I hope you enjoyed reading the word of God in a new light. Have a Happy Wednesday! God Bless, Elder Tommy and Sister Shatika Gray |
