Have you ever seen a shipwreck?
It’s not the amount of water that is outside that wrecks the ship, but the amount of water that goes inside the ship.
The ship will withstand the waves and water beating against it and remain afloat as long as the water stays outside.
Suppose the ship gets damaged (an opening on the side) that allows the water to get it. That’s where the shipwreck begins, and if the damage is not repaired quickly, the ship will sink!
Life is pretty much the same. If you allow the outside problems to come inside you, you will sink, and your life will end up in a wreck!
”while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.“ (II Corinthians 4:18)
Do not put your focus on the things you see around you. Let the problems occur, but as for you, keep yourself above the water!
Don’t let the problems outside come inside of you. Have peace of mind and remain at peace inside your soul so that you can deal with and overcome the problems.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
