Captain of the Ship
"And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”
Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!” ~ Mark 4:37-41
Often times, God doesn't show us where His will simply to test our faith.
Think about it. If we knew the end result of our pain, would we really trust Him to bring us through it? If we knew why we experienced certain trials and tribulations, would we draw closer to Him in tough times?
Walking blind through the valley is healthy for us. You don't need to know where we're going when you trust the captain of the ship.
God bless,
J.W.
