"We gave way to it and were driven along." Acts 27: 15 NIV
"They threw the ship's tackle overboard." Acts 27: 19 NIV
"We finally gave up all hope." Acts 27: 20 NIV
The meditation reveals that three things happen when you are in a crisis.
1. You drift
2. You discard what's important
3. You despair
It is interesting to look at these steps that one may go through in a crisis. The question is what do you do to counteract these natural emotional responses?
It is not enough to say: don't drift, don't discard, or don't despair, because being in a crisis is very real and upsetting.
Maybe if one is able to address being upset, them maybe you can handle the reality of a crisis.
How do you avoid being upset in the midst of a crisis?
I got to run. I will answer that question in my next blog.
