Taking a Cruise?

Cruises....seems to me everyone is going on one....here, there and everywhere!   
Well, there is a cruise line that I think ALL Christians need to stay away from, it's called ....The Carnal Cruise.
Too often we convince ourselves that we need a little break, a rest, a vacation.  We have been good, nose to the grindstone and are weary.  Hey!  Everyone needs some down time!  What could it hurt?   All too soon we will be back in the groove striving for another day.


Friends!.... OUR LIFE HERE IS NOT ABOUT VACATIONS!
It's about FOLLOWING CHRIST.


Yes there is a cost.  
Sometimes the way seems long and the path uphill.  We are discouraged and tired and then...we let our guard down and we get on the ship and sail away.  
Believer, you are either going forward or backwards, there is no sitting on the fence...the job will not be the same when you return....what goes on in Vegas does NOT stay in Vegas.
Our heavenly Father sees, He knows, He hears and He sent His Son so that we might have the strength to go on another day.  His grace is sufficient. His strength is made manifest in our weakness,  and if we yell out for Him a window of escape appears when the temptation is too great. 


GET OFF THE SHIP... Put the lifesaver down...
He carries you.  He will be your refreshment.  "Come to Me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest!"  


Blessings!
