Good Morning Garden

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).

It is not contradictory that we are captains of our souls with dominion over our lives, while at the same time, following the will of God. You see, we must choose to follow God’s will and let God operate through us. While it is God working through us who accomplishes the works, it is we who must decide to become one with God and pursue a spiritual life. If we are to reach our destined port, we must decide to give control to God. That is how we have dominion and control by choosing to give both to God in our lives.
