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).
The best way to have dominion over our lives is to turn them over to God and follow his will. If we set our heading according to God’s will, and if we stay that course, our ships will arrive safely at their true home port. That port will be a life filled with joy and gladness and our ships will come through every storm.
On God’s course,
