Staying The Course!
My old Pastor once gave us an analogy about naval ships during wartime and how they sometimes encountered fog. Past experience had taught them not to impulsively veer off or change course but rather sail through till they got to the other side. This strategy saved a lot of unnecessary disasters at sea...
The Lord reminded me of this story again as I prepare for work. As Christians, we can be a little impulsive some times and want to just jump into anything that seems to be "of God" or take a direction that we had not thought through very well.
I will never forget Pastors lesson in Church that morning because it has always kept me in good stead. If you do not know what direction to take "stay the course." Keep going forward. Do not veer off or change direction until you get through to the other side and can see clearly or until God opens a door.
Shalom!!!
