We as Christians are all rowing in the same boat, and this isn't a "Merrily merrily merrily gently down the stream" boat. This is a boat full of adventure, trials, and opportunities to exercise patience. This is a boat where we need to work as a team to keep it moving in the right direction, and we need to work as individuals to encourage those around us to keep rowing.
God directs the current. He has His hand in the winds and the breezes that fill our sails. Some days it is smooth sailing, and we can raise the sails and relax a little bit. But some days, when the storms begin to rage we must bunker down and keep a good grip on the oars, for if we do not, we risk being tossed overboard.
The most important thing to realize though, is that God is the captain, and we are simply deckhands. We have no say in the navigation of the boat. It is just our decision to go the way we are directed. Sometimes the current is rough, sometimes the waves are rocky. But if God created the storms, we know He created them for a reason.
Trust. Trust trust trust is the key word in this situation. I am learning how important the meaning of that word is.. daily. "Firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.. acceptance of the truth of a statement without evidence or investigation." Man is that powerful or what? God has called us to trust Him. To trust our Captain.
So tell me. Are you ready for this voyage through the seas of life?
