We had a great first day at Camp Wild, and with all the rain recently, the creek there is flowing FAST!
Some kids joked about how hard it was to swim or walk upstream, but it got a lot easier when they turned around!
Psalm 80:19 says, “Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, Cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.”
Kids may wonder why it’s so hard to swim upstream in a full creek, but a lot of people wonder why life is so hard even though they’re actually going against God the whole time. If we want God’s favor and His “face to shine” on us, we need to be willing to turn from going the wrong way and go God’s way. Repentance is something we all need to be quick to do when God shows us that we’re going against Him in any way (even in things that seem too small to matter or too small for anyone to notice).
It doesn’t make much sense to keep going the wrong way and wonder why it’s so hard.
