"If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:"
Psalms 124:2-4
This is a good reminder that God is the one that can save us from drowning, both physically and spiritually. We so often turn to other sources for help or try to find answers elsewhere, but the deepest and truest help and answers are always from God. God of course can direct other people to assist us, and often does, but our faith is properly placed in the Lord who sent the help, not in the people who provided it. :)
It isn't always easy to turn to the Lord because we have to remove the distractions and the obstacles that stand between us. However, doing so makes the entire rest of our lives easier and less overwhelming. Being right with God leads to being okay in every other way. Today, let's avoid having the stream go over our souls by trusting in the Lord and making the effort to always turn to him when we need help.
