If you have ever been in a canoe or kayak you probably have figured out not to rock the boat too much or you just may capsize! If you are fourteen and a boy you may not quite realize that. Or maybe at fourteen you might prefer to be dumped into the lake!! Hopefully the boat doesn't sink to the bottom. Also it would be best to be rescued and brought safely to shore.
It also comes to mind that at fourteen most of us didn't really consider all the consequences of our actions? Rocking boats as it were was kind of a way of life at that age. What we also didn't realize was that we may need rescuing. That is where our older wiser family members often stepped in.
Reminds me of God and his love for each of us. We get ourselves stranded on the edge of the overturned boat and then cry out for help! God is and always will be there. Not necessarily to yank us out out of the water we got ourselves into. More likely to just drag us safely back to shore! Verse: Jonah 2(all)
