Trust

I have been reflecting on day 2 of my kayaking course. We were learning to get out of a capsized kayak. However, in the course we are learning to be instructors/guides, we had to pair up, and one person would talk through with the other, to let them know what was going to happen.
One person was in the kayak, and the other was standing in the water. The person standing in the water would tip the person in the kayak upside down, and then back up. This happened a couple of times, before the 3rd time where we had to exit the kayak while it was still under water.
The object of this exercise is to build up the confidence of a kayaker to capsize and know what to do to get out.
However in the start of the exercise, a trust is needed with the instructor (the person in the water), and that trust builds as the exercise goes on... you see we didn't have a way of controlling the boat ourselves, we had to trust the instructor, that just as they tipped us over, they were going to bring us up the right way, and if something went wrong when we were trying to get out, we trusted them to help us, either getting us up right or out.
That got me to thinking about our relationship with Christ.
As we trust Christ, we grow in our trust of Him, we come to know that even when we can't see Him, cause we are upside down, He is still there, keeping an watchful eye on us, ready to tip us back up. And as we learn and grow in our trust, Christ trusts us more and more with His plans. Just like , once we show that we aren't scared to go under the water, and that we trust the instructor, he will give us more instruction on what we are to do, until we are able to get out oursleves.
Then we wait for our Rescuer, who will empty out the kayak and help us get back in.
I think it is a very good example of what Christ does for us.
