Let's be clever ducks!


So I am at  the "beach" again today... just watching out the window as the sun hid behind a tree. In the paddock behind our property, a little family of ducks waddled across towards the stream. One by one with a big plop, they threw themselves in and were rapidly whisked away on the current, probably ending up at the larger town twenty kilometres away.

With world events on my mind, I thought of how quickly we can all be whisked away to a future world we don't really enjoy or even like much any more.  It is dark and frightening for most of us-and especially so for the non believer in Christ.

For Christians have a hope and expectation: we are expecting and waiting for Jesus to come for us, and so we will be forever with Him, away from the anger and wrath that awaits the world. 

Whether we like it or not, we are being whisked away on a flood of rushing water and where we end up for eternity depends on whether or not we accept Jesus Christ as our LORD and Saviour

No good works will make us good enough to go to Heaven: Jesus Christ is the ONLY way. 

My prayer today as I watch those ducks making use of that current is that we will all be found safe at the other end with Jesus. Let's be clever ducks!


Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. —Acts 4:12

  1. I love the visual of watching the ducks. And they don’t question or fear the current and where it will take them. And with Jesus as our savior, we can also have peace in the current. Thank you for this beautiful post

    1. So true... if we are being whisked away on the current, as long as we know Jesus we have no need to fear. Thank you for commenting today, Valerie.
