You realize you're in trouble, and you begin to flail and thrash around, gasping for breath. Nothing matters except getting on your feet and getting your breath.
Life is like that.
You may not be in such a situation now, but the time will come when the surf of life will knock you down. Then you will want to know how to regain your footing and your spiritual breath. The only sure footing comes from our confidence in God's providential sovereignty. We need to anchor to the fact that God our Creator has a loving purpose for each one of us. Nothing happens in your life and mine by accident.
