Swimming in the shallow end.

This past June we went down to Boca Grand, Florida. It is an island on the Gulf of Mexico and Charlotte Harbor on the otherside. There is a great deal of wildlife to see on the island, turtles, cranes, pelicans, iguanas and gators. while in the gulf we slipped on our goggles and found a whole other world in the water. Wow, I had no idea the water was this crowded. The life under water included minature fish, crabs, fiddler crabs, starfish jellyfish and Silver King Tarpons.
This got me thinking about shallow and deep. I hear many times people saw they want to go "deeper" . I hear folks say they aren't "getting fed". Just where do we need to be? We sometimes act so serious that we refuse to behave like Christ followers in the shallow concerns of life. The shallow concerns of life are as much of God as the deep or profound concerns. Our concern to not be shallow is rooted in wanting to impress others that we are not shallow. I find that Jesus spentr a great deal of time in te shallow walk of life with everyday people. LUKE 7:34 The Son of Man came feasting and you called him a lush. Opinion polls don't count for much, do they? The proof of the pudding is in the eating."
To be shallow is not being wicked: the ocean has a shore. The shallow and deep things are apointed of God. Jesus lived in them and lived as the Son of God. Don't be a poser; God became a baby.
