Let’s Go Through It…
Remember the children’s song “We’re Going On A Bear Hunt” ?
“We’re going on a bear hunt. We’re going catch a big one. What a beautiful day!
We’re not scared.
Uh-uh!
A river!
A deep cold river. We can’t go over it. We can’t go under it.
Oh no!
We’ve got to go through it!
Splash splosh! Splash splosh! Splash.”
You can’t go over it. You can’t go under it. You’ve got to go through it.
How I wish sometimes we had a “Get out of trouble” card, much like the Monopoly game card that let you “Get out of jail free.”
But, life doesn’t work that way.
Jesus told His disciples:
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
We find hope in the knowledge that Jesus has overcome the world and we can too!
And remember what Jesus told His disciples as part of the “Great Commission.”
“Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20
So, when you come to the “deep cold river,” remember that God is with you, by faith. You are going to make it through this!–
