Salmon swim against the current to get to their breeding spot where they were born. In the quest to swim upstream, some are battered and bruised; some even die in the process.
Their determination to get home is so strong that they will do everything they can to reach their destination.
The plight of the salmon holds a great lesson for us. We go through challenges and trials that overwhelm us. We become weak. We struggle to make another step. We hit rock bottom.
In our distress, we call out to the Lord and He comes to rescue us. He strengthens us and leads us on one step at a time. We may be battered and torn but we are not quitters. God infuses His strength into our inner being miraculously. He opens our eyes to see that with Him on our side, we will overcome.
