LET GOD DIRECT OUR LIVES

Life is like a long sea journey as illustrated in the book of Acts of the Apostles, chapter 27, from verse 10 to verse 15.
The following verses can help us understand certain life circumstances:

1- They did not want to take into account the word of God.
« The centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship. »(Acts 27:11)
We always have around us people who are ready to confirm our own opinion and turn us away from the path that God has traced for us.

2- Sailors were not happy with where they were.
« The harbor was unsuitable to winter in… »(Acts 27:12)
God does not consider our lack of satisfaction or the poll of opinions, He leads us according to the will of His Spirit. We are called to overcome the difficulties that pile up on our way of life.

3- They were impatient to reach their destination.
« …the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there… »(Acts 27:12)
We are not right to want to rush the course of events to meet God, rather we must stay put and wait for God’s will.

4- They assessed the situation instead of trusting God.
« A gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had obtained what they wanted; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. »(Acts 27:13).
The happy circumstances of our life do not always confirm the divine will for us.

5- They were surprised that the circumstances had changed.
« Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the « northeaster, » swept down from the island. The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along. »(Acts 27:14-15)
Sometimes God has to lead us through a place where we most need His support and protection.

PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to let You direct our lives.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
