Drifting

The story’s told of a boy sailing his boat on a pond when it started to drift away. A man saw the boat drifting, and began throwing stones that landed on the far side of it. “What are you doing?” the boy asked. Then something interesting happened. As the stones hit the water they created ripples which pushed the boat back toward the boy. Even though the stones disturbed the water, they achieved the desired result.

That’s how it is with God sometimes. We drift away from Him; He throws stones, makes waves, and pushes us back towards Him.

So if there are some waves in your life at the moment that are unsettling you maybe it’s God trying to grab your attention.
