I drove north on California\u2019s Pacific Coast Highway after attending a work conference in Santa Cruz. It was roughly three hours away from where I lived in Pismo Beach, and I\u2019d decided to make the most of the trip<\/a> by hitting a new beach to surf. I was an avid surfer, and I was excited to try out a different spot.<\/p>\n

It was a miserably gray day with intermittent rain showers, but the waves looked fun. I pulled into the parking lot to search the stretch of cliff-lined coast. My truck was the only vehicle. The beach was empty.<\/p>\n

Surfboard under my arm, I headed down a flight of stairs to the beach. With the sand between my toes. I watched the water for a moment, taking in the waves. I was anxious<\/a> to get out there.<\/p>\n

Then I felt it. An inner conviction. Don\u2019t paddle out.<\/i> I\u2019d never felt anything like it before, this urge. It cut through my thoughts as if it originated from somewhere else. It was strong. I wasn\u2019t sure where it came from or what to make of it. But the waves looked so promising, and I felt young and invincible. So I quickly brushed aside the feeling and pulled on my wetsuit.<\/p>\n

As I neared the water\u2019s edge, I felt it again. Don\u2019t paddle out.<\/i> This time, almost pleading with me. I ignored it and dove into the surf, swimming quickly until I was out past the break.<\/p>\n

I sat up on my board, bobbing in the water, and looked around, waiting to catch a wave. To my dismay, almost as soon as I\u2019d paddled out, the waves turned to garbage. There was an incessant current that kept me paddling the whole time to stay in place. I was only in the water for roughly 30 minutes when, out of frustration, I decided I was leaving.<\/p>\n

I caught one final wave and made my way to shore. Because of the current, I was a few hundred yards away from where I\u2019d parked my car. I had to walk along the edge of the cliff-lined shore back to my truck. The tide was on the rise, leaving a small strip of beach next to the cliff face to walk on.<\/p>\n

The edges of the waves gently lapped my feet as I made my way toward my truck. I rounded a small bend in the rocks. The water receded. And kept receding\u2026<\/p>\n

With terror, I realized that the water was about to surge, and I\u2019d reached the mouth of a deep cave, with nowhere to go.<\/p>\n

I braced for the wave\u2019s impact. \u201cGod, help me!\u201d I cried out. Then I was swept under the water. Everything went black.<\/p>\n

When I came to, I was pinned to the back of the cave. The water was up to my neck. My surfboard had spun around behind me, protecting my head from the rocky wall. But I wasn\u2019t out of danger yet. I had to get out of the cave before another wave came, before the tide rose even higher. I felt the water start to pull out to sea. I swam with everything in me, clearing the cave\u2019s mouth. I didn\u2019t stop until I reached a safe stretch of beach past the cliff face. I flopped onto the sand, panting, my heart pounding.<\/p>\n

Lying there, I realized that God had tried to warn me. In his ultimate mercy, even though I\u2019d ignored him, he\u2019d protected me. I had only a few small bumps and bruises. I hadn\u2019t inhaled any water. Sure, I was shaken up, but I was otherwise pretty much unharmed. It was a hard-learned lesson, and one I\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been 22 years since that day. I still surf, but now I listen carefully for warnings before I head out. And if I get one, I heed it.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
