Staying Afloat

Recent national news outlets shared the miraculous story of a young man who was lost at sea but rescued by his family hours after going missing.

The man was on a diving trip off the coast of Key West, FL, with several others when the current separated him from his group, and he began to drift further and further away from the boat. In his story, he shared that he found a piece of bamboo that he clung to until he found two mooring balls out in the sea that he held onto until he was spotted by his family about two hours later. Many are calling this a miracle because others in similar experiences were never found alive. Perhaps his diving skills and experience in the ocean played a part in his survival, but I would like to think it was also divine help at play.

This is surely a parallel to life. Sometimes all you need to do is all you can do. In some seasons of life, just focus on staying afloat instead of swimming against the current. Simply find something you can hang onto and keep the faith that all shall be well.
