In the heart of Australia, a family’s picnic by the creek turned into a desperate fight for survival. A young boy, thrilled with his catch of wild geese, was suddenly dragged into the water by a lurking crocodile. His aunt and uncle sprang into action, punching and kicking the beast with all their might. But despite their valiant efforts, the crocodile’s grip remained unyielding.
That’s when the aunt remembered the ultimate source of strength. With a fierce determination, she struck the crocodile’s nose and cried out, “Help! In the name of Jesus!” In that instant, the reptile released its deadly grasp, and the boy was saved.
This remarkable story echoes the timeless wisdom of Proverbs 18:10: “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” It’s a powerful reminder that when we’re faced with life’s challenges, we can turn to the One who has the power to overcome even the most formidable foes.
How often do we find ourselves in situations where we feel overwhelmed, like the boy trapped in the crocodile’s jaws? Yet, how often do we forget to call upon the name of Jesus, the ultimate source of strength and salvation?
As we navigate life’s turbulent waters, let us not forget the transformative power of faith. May we, like the brave aunt, cry out to Jesus in our times of need, trusting that His name will be our strong tower, our refuge, and our salvation.
