Safe in the face of seeming danger

Sometimes and in certain places along the promenade, when the waves are huge, I can safely stand next to the railing at the very edge of the sea, and yet the waves wash out to sea again and don't harm or wet me. I don't stand where I know the waves break onto the walkway.




If we stay in safe places and live righteously, the dangers of life and temptations may come right up to us but not harm us. We will be protected, as I am by the promenade, but we must avoid spending time in places where we know there is spiritual danger.
