Psalm 69:1 says “Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck”. Do you ever feel that way? Most of the pastors at GCC were away this week either on vacation or at Youth Camp. I spent a good deal this week as the only pastor available and in the building. This verse came to mind many times!
There are a lot of days that I feel like I’m only one breath away from drowning. I feel like I’m so far over my head that I will surely drown any minute. I remember the guest speaker at our new building dedication, Noel Wilcox, saying these very words in his dedication message. God puts us in places where we are uncomfortable so we can grow into what he has ordained us to be.
When I’m one breath away from drowning, I’m totally dependent on Him for that next breath. I believe He has called me to where I am today, so I’m sure He will supply that next breath for me. So, I’ll continue to be one breath away from drowning and depending on Him for that one breath. I don’t think there is any other way for me to grow to become all He wants me to be.
