Riding the Waves

We can either curse at the waves that pound us, or ride them. One way or another, they are coming.

“Huge waves that would frighten an ordinary swimmer produce a tremendous thrill for the surfer who has ridden them. Let’s apply that to our own circumstances. The things we try to avoid and fight against— tribulation, suffering, and persecution— are the very things that produce abundant joy in us.” Oswald Chambers – March 7

“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” Jesus (John 16:33)

In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. —Romans 8:37

“I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.” 2 Corinthians 7:4
