OUR PILOT

“And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?  And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”
Mark 4:38, 39 KJV

Pastor Edward Hopper wrote “Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me”.  “Jesus, Savior, pilot me Over life’s tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treacherous shoal. Chart and compass come from Thee; Jesus, Savior, pilot me.”  We need Jesus to be our Pilot in this world of violence.

It doesn’t matter how many dark valleys and crises we have in our life Jesus is able to guide us, help us and protect us from the attacks of satan.  Instead of trying to do things by ourselves, we need to allow Jesus to be our Pilot.  It is always safe to trust Jesus because He will never fail us.

Pastor Clinton Macomber wrote one of my favorite hymns “Jesus Never Fails”.  We can trust Jesus because He never fails us.  Edgar P. Stites wrote another inspiring hymn “Trusting Jesus”.  “Simply trusting every day, Trusting through a stormy way; Even when my faith is small, Trusting Jesus, that is all.”

Do you trust Jesus to help you or are you still trying to do things by yourself?  We read in the Bible “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5).  We need Jesus every minute.
