Jesus, Savior
pilot me
Over life's tempestuous
sea...
Remember that hymn? The words are
beautifully chosen aren't they.
Do you really want Him to pilot
you today? That means trusting Him to make the choices that might
not make any human sense. Everything will add up when we leave
this world.
That is why it is so important
to make sure that when we ask for guidance, we are also available
for a work of submission to be done in the heart. Otherwise,
when I say "please show me..." I might really mean,
"Please show me how to get the result that I think I should
have."
In obedience to God's Word, every
believer should tell the Lord out loud each day that He
can have his or her life - that His Life is longed for, and that
whatever He wants will be willingly and eagerly borne.
This obedience will make room for
the infilling of the Holy spirit, and also will take the nasty
sting out of illness, death, and a myriad of heartbreaking circumstances.
It doesn't remove the pain, but submission does make the pain
sweet.
Remember this?
It will be worth it all, when we
see Jesus.
Life's trials will seem so small
when we see Christ.
One glimpse of His dear face, all
sorrows will erase.
We will have won the race, when
we see Christ!
