Lesson from Flies

If you go to the banks of the little stream, and watch the flies that come to bathe in it, you will notice that while they plunge their bodies in the water, they keep their wings high out of the water. After swimming about a little while, they come out of water and fly away with their wings which are not wet through the sunny air. As the wings are above water, they are dry and light as ever.


Now this is a lesson for us. When we are in the world, we are immersed in the cares of this world. We are not like the flies which keep the wings above water. We worry a lot. But if we keep the wings of our soul, our faith, and our love, out of the world , we may be ready to take our flight to Heaven. For this, we should put our trust in God. Carrying our cares, stresses and daily struggles by ourselves, show that we have not trusted God fully in our lives.Jesus Christ tells us not to worry about our needs which He promises to supply. Worry damages our health, consumes our thought, disrupts productivity, reduces our ability to trust God. It takes humility, however, to recognise that God cares, to admit our needs, and let God to help us. We needn’t bear our struggles but He will bear it. So let us not submit to circumstances, but to the Lord who controls circumstances.
