What Kind Of Ship Am I?

8/29/2022

 
(A story of discovering understanding of our lives' destinies)
​

As I stood on the sandy shore of the beach on the Isle of ‘Retirement’,
I gazed out to the bay where there were boats taking people across the ocean’s expanse to an unseen destination. There was a ‘Sailboat’ cruising serenely across the waves, majestic and unperturbed by all other activity.
I asked the Lord if---now that I’m retired---will my life be like that majestic swan? He replied “No”, explaining that I was too much a warrior. Therefore I said, “Then let me be like a PT 109 speedboat so that I could take more people faster.” Yet again, the answer was “No. You can’t take that many in a speedboat.”
Then my eyes shifted to the to the ‘Cruise Liner’ getting ready to depart from the dock. I asked again, “Am I to be a Cruise Liner like that one?” His voice was sad, yet there was a twinkle in His eyes as He directed me to look again at the massive Liner carrying those many souls. As my eyes surveyed the scene, I could now see a rugged little ‘tug boat’ huffing and puffing as it maneuvered the great ship safely away from the dock and into deep waters.
Again He spoke. “Your destiny is to be a spiritual ‘tug boat’, helping to launch many souls into their ministerial destinies.” Then I truly understood the Master’s assignment for my life.
 
(Apostle Paul spoke of this Godly entrustment in his letter to the church of Corinth---which he helped to ‘launch’)
“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.” (1 Cor.3:5)

As we step into His Presence, His anointing begins to fill every crack and every crevice.
Every nuance of our lives is made whole as we step into His Presence.

"Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him
with songs of praise!"
(Psalm 95:2 ESV)
