“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” -Phil. 4:12
I love to ski. Especially moguls. Skiing moguls successfully is not unlike succeeding in riding the bumps of life and not being broken in the process. Absorbing them with bent knees is the key, rather than tensing up and fighting against the bumps. Because taking the bumps with flexibility makes the ride fun, but tensing up, seeking to protect oneself causes great harm to your body. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be broken.
We have had to learn to be flexible the last few months, trying to survive all the changes in our lives. Trust God; He is good. It may not always seem that way, but He is, and He will take you through. The critical importance for protection in taking the bumps of life is to keep your knees bent... on our knees in prayer that is. May we not become anxious when we find ourselves on bumpy roads. Instead, as the Word teaches, we must bring all things to the Lord through prayer and supplication, and He shall guard us from harm. We can then lean back and enjoy the ride.
