When
a scuba diver is deep underwater it's difficult to tell which way is up because
the water diffuses the light and he can't feel the pull of gravity. He can
easily become disoriented and lose his sense of direction. His mind will
start playing tricks on him, telling him that up is down and down is up. If the
diver panics, he will place his life in danger if he swims in the wrong
direction.
The diver can get out
of his predicament if he'll remember one simple rule--to follow his air
bubbles.
Scuba divers are taught that no matter which way he thinks is the right
direction, the bubbles are always correct. They never go sideways. They never
go down. They always go up. The diver must ignore his own sense of direction
and trust his air bubbles to guide him.
It’s
easy to get confused in today’s world when so many voices are shouting at us
that right is wrong—and wrong is right. Don’t be fooled by the pressure to
conform. When you aren’t sure what to believe, remember one simple rule--follow
what the Lord says.
Just
as the air bubbles are never wrong, the Bible is always correct and will point you
in the right direction, even when people may say otherwise. "Trust in the
Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your
ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight" (Prov. 3:5-6).
So
don’t follow the way that seems right, but isn’t. Trust your air bubbles, God's
Word, and you won’t go wrong. . www.kentcrockett.blogspot.com www.makinglifecount.net
