Good Morning!! Life is much like a vast ocean,...and we are like ships, just floating along,...looking to connect to the rest of the world. Each new year is like an uncharted sea, We’ll meet ships, and we'll have all
kinds of opportunities, heartaches, tears and fears as we navigate through a
new year. We have to decide where we want to go,...or not
go. There are always forces pushing, pulling or dragging us through
life. We need a sail to take advantage of the wind, a rudder to guide us
across the waves, and an anchor to hold us in place once we reach our
destination. We have all of that, in Jesus.
We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.—
Hebrews 2:1 (NIV)
A ship never
just drifts into the harbor. The most skillful part of
being a sea pilot is bringing the ship into the harbor. "Let them slip"
literally means drift away. You have to be careful when you enter the
harbor that you don't end up on the rocks or drift past the harbor. The
worst thing that could happen to us this year, is that we just drift
through it,...live an aimless life,...letting this year "happen" to us
rather
than charting a course, and getting into God's appointed harbor. The
winds of worldliness, the tides of circumstance, and the currents of the
old nature are determined to cause you to drift.
Drifting is what happens when we do nothing at all. We will drift, unless we decide not to drift.
Lord, You are our goal,...help
us to stay on the course that You've laid before us. As we navigate
through the seas of change, let us never lose sight of You! Amen.
"God's
promises are our birthright; standing on His promises provides the
peace we long for, and the spiritual strength we need."
