The river people in a certain section of the Amazon give us an incredible object lesson based on Psalm 69.

There is a certain village along the river where the houses are built on stilts right out in the water. During the rainy season, the family must board up the windows and the family must live in the rafters of the home for several weeks until the water recedes! The evidence of the height of the river is the water line stained within the porous wood of the home.

Now, imagine if you will, if you were an innocent bystander.
