I'm Your Captain

Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires.  (Psalm 37:4)


Long before a ship sets out on a voyage, the captain takes the necessary time to plot out the course of the journey. This ensures that the ship stays its course and arrives safely at its destination.  I had the bright idea of painting the kitchen over Memorial Day weekend, and if I was considered the captain of our ship, we'd be headed for certain peril as I didn't exactly prepare for all of the work that the painting entailed.  Our kitchen is slowly but surely coming together, but for the moment it looks like a disaster area, and I still have no idea how we are going to paint above the cabinets.... 


The same principle holds true for the course of our lives.  Without goals or objectives, we will wander aimlessly through our lives.   With God as our captain, if we are willing to follow His goals and objectives, we will stay on track and finish the journey we are destined to make, reaching our final destination-eternity in heaven!
