Don’t Rock the Boat
“Don’t rock the boat.” “Leave everything as it is.” “Maintain the status quo.”
We have many ways to tell one another not to change anything.
Change is hard, yet:
- To make wrongs right requires change.
- Progress requires change.
- Learning requires change.
If we rock the boat when fishing:
- We may fall out.
- The boat may turn over.
- We may scare away the fish.
If we rock the boat in life:
- We may become uncomfortable.
- Other people may become uncomfortable or angry.
- We may make mistakes.
Yet, nothing ventured, nothing gained. We can’t move forward without change.
Don’t rock the boat just to cause trouble. Do rock the boat when the boat needs rocked.
“Make the most of every opportunity” (Colossians 4:5).
