I have the opportunity to read many articles that race across my computer screen each week. Today, I want to share this thought with you and then try to provide a little encouragement.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox said, “One ship drives east and another drives west with the selfsame winds that blow; ‘Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales which tells us the way to go.”
One of the blessings of the Christ-follower is knowing that Jesus will help us set the sails of life. We have the entire story of Jesus before us and we can learn to love, act and pray like him. We can see the example of God himself, as Jesus came as the exact representation of the Creator. The disciple of Christ has the privilege of enjoying the presence of the Holy Spirit to guide and comfort as we attempt to set our sails of life in a manner which will honor our God.
So, in the week in front of us, may we cut time into our over packed schedules to sit and be quiet enough to hear the direction of the One who is in charge of the winds that blow. What better time than the present to close the door on the world for a few minutes each day and see what God has in store for you.
May you have a blessed week as you spend time with your heavenly Dad!
