LOOKING FOR THAT FOOT-HOLD!

Thursday,,, how will you enjoy it? Praising God, I hope!


"LOOKING FOR THAT FOOT-HOLD"


What is a foot-hold? It is something that a person can stand on and be secure,,,it can be climbing a mountain, a tree, a rope, or in the water...something you can comfortably stand on and know you are safe.
Have you ever been swimming, and get in the deep part, get a little tired,,, feet are far from the bottom. If you touch it , your head will be under water, you will not be able to breath. You quickly swim to shallow water, OR splash your way to the side and then inch towards the shallow water,,then put your feet down for that " foothold"...If you are in a lake or a stream, and this happens you look for that "foothold",,,quickly,,,so you don't drown....this "foot-hold" becomes the most important thing,,, the center of your life, for without it, your are
un-able to breath,, lost,,dead.
How about when we are walking in the deep sea of sin? We walk, and we are constantly going into deeper,,deeper sin,,,we are going over our head and it spells sure death,,,,we are looking feverishly for that "foot-hold" of salvation and life!!! Reach your foot out ,, you just can't find a foot-hold, it seems as if it is close , but just out of reach,,, then you raise your head toward the heavens, cry out with a scream,Lord, Lord, help, me , forgive me of my sins,,, I want you and I accept you as my Lord of Redemption and Salvation,,I give you my all,,,please accept me into your fold,,,save me,,,save me,,,, and then,,,all of a sudden,,you feel the solid pressure under your foot as you become stable , no more sinking,,,but the feeling of rising above this sea of sin and satan....yes,,, He answers just that quick, for He is watching and waiting to pull you to safety.....yes you have just found your


FOOT-HOLD OF LIFE!

FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!

Lord, thank you for holding us all in the palm of your hand and keeping us up and out of the sea of sin...amen
