When the motors start, all three of them, and you begin to feel the sensation of motion, you also begin to question why you are in the boat in the first place. I think it was back when you heard a bunch of people talking about the trip they just took up the Lower Rogue River and you just had to try it. Hey everyone else sure seem to like it. But no, you first checked out for yourself as to the safety of the boats, accident records for the last 20 years, by week, you did your homework. So why the panic? Could it be your still don't trust them?
Tomorrow you have to decide whether you are going to come clean to your boss about who did you know what to the thing in the other room. You know what is right because you can feel what is not. Taking three days makes you look sorta guilty already. The Holy Spirit assists us in applying Christ's principals to our life. As we read and hear and share we learn more of Christ's character which in turn allows us to more easily follow in His footsteps. As we experience His care we become more reliant on Him.
When we make a decision and find our selves still fearful of failure, chances are we need to talk to Christ about it some more. Thats where we will find God the quickest. Trust that map you got from that travel company? Okay. Who created everything? Think then He knows whats going to work best for us? Trust Him.
You have made the toughest decision you will ever make when you accepted Christ as your personal Savior. And you were not alone when you made that decision. God gave you the amount of faith nessecary to make that decision. So, He will give you all the faith you need for any decision when you seek Him in what you are doing.
A rule of thumb that we use working with young people is to tell them that "when in doubt, don't". Talk it over with Christ, your best friend, your pastor. Our Father desires that we live a life that brings Him, praise, honor and glory.
