God intended us to have dominion over our lives, to be the captains of our souls.
Of course, in the ship of life, you cannot make port unless all sails are set. You must pursue the spiritual life wholeheartedly. You cannot expect to reach port if you are faithful in your prayers and meditations for a time, and then for a time you forget God.
You are the captain of your soul when you can say with Jesus,
I and my Father are one (John 10:30).
…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works (John 14:10).
When we pursue our spiritual life with all the vigor and commitment within us, we will reach the port that God charted for us. When we take our hand off the tiller, or fall off the wind or veer from the course, we lose our way and slow our progress. So, let us keep a steady hand on the tiller mates. Let us keep our sails full and may God carry us all to the home port he has given to us and to our Garden that waits for us there.
Along the Lee Shore,
