Commercials have always been entertaining, even in the 80’s. The one I remember the most growing up was trying to sell Nestle Ice Tea. Their slogan was take the plunge, into a swimming pool of ice tea, to cool off from the summer heat.
From a spiritual perspective, the heat is on every day, but this attack is unseen by the human eye. According to Ephesians 6:16, the evil one, Satan, is regularly shooting flaming arrows. To protect yourself from these flames, you need the shield of faith. Therefore, take the plunge with a leap of faith that the Lord will keep you safe and secure.
The older I get, the less I like to take chances. Instead, I have been going through the motions of life, missing out on adventures God has in store for me. Like the Big Tent Revival song, Letting Go, I recognize that I need to follow the lyrics, to let go of control and place my wholehearted trust in the Lord. Like the commercial I saw over and over again as a child, its time to take the plunge!
