our trip on the river of life. Part 1: The Dangers of the river Part 2

whenever I have been on a river trip it seems I always get stuck in a whirlpool. we think we know how to get around it. We think we know where we are going. But some how we always get stuck in them. As you see the words we thin in the pass sentence we think we know the best path. when we begin to trust in our own knowledge we tend to always get stuck. Just as it says in Proverbs 11:28 "He that trusteth in his riches shall fall:" Or if we replace riches with his knowledge. when we trust in our own knowledge to get through this life we will always get caught in the Whirlpool that Satan will create. But with a guide as wonderful as Christ he will lead us out of those dangers if we follow what he says. In the Bible, Book of Mormon, Prophets today, and personal revelation .
so as we see in each of these dangers of life we can either react poorly and just let them win (them being Satan) or we can act upon our desires to be strong change our course and saved through Christ. Now we need to always remember that there will always be trials and hardships. But we need to make sure we do not get angry at Gd, his servants, his church, and his gospel. When we react to our situations with anger, that is when we put up a self made dam with our relationship with God. So as we see going down the river of life it is our choice of if our trip will be successful or not. God has given us all the help we need. God was bent over backwards for us to make sure his children can make it home to him. It is our choice to either grow and become what he wants us to become or to give up. Yes times will be scary, and hard. But that is the great thing. Christ is right there with us at all times to help us through. He is only a prayer away.
