While walking along the shores of the Dead Sea, a man lost his balance and fell in the water. Panic-stricken, he couldn’t swim and began to thrash about with his arms and legs. Exhausted, he went limp as he cried out to God.
He had forgotten that the Dead Sea is so full of salt and other minerals that if a person lies still he can easily float on its surface, and so he floated to safety.
This simple story has a profound lesson for us who are the Lord's children. His arms will uphold us if we step aside and trust Him.
Hebrews 4:15-16 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
