Always Follow Your Bubbles
Vern Treat told about a scuba-diver who said that when
you're deep underwater you're surrounded by an aura of light
which makes it very difficult to tell which way is up
because the water diffuses the light. Furthermore, having a
sense of weightlessness, you have no sense of gravity. As
such it is easy to get disoriented and lose your sense of
direction. It may even seem that your air bubbles are going
sideways.
You may feel so strongly that your perception of up is
correct that you ignore your air bubbles and go the way you
think is up. One of the things the scuba-diver is taught is
to always trust and follow his bubbles. No matter what you
think or feel, your bubbles are always correct. They always
go up! So always follow your bubbles. Always! Sadly, many
people in today's society are disoriented and have lost
their way because they have ignored life's only trust-worthy
guide, God's Word, the Bible. They are going the way they
think or feel is right. Or they choose to live as they
please. "The Bible describes things as they are. It agrees
with reality. Like the scuba-diver's bubbles, the Bible is
always right, no matter how you feel, no matter what you
think."
As another has said, "We can't improve on God's plan. The
best thing to do is to get in on it." Every instruction,
every command- ment, and every directive is given for our
good and for our eternal well-being. Like the scuba-diver
who ignores his bubbles, we disregard God's Word to our own
peril.
