IS JESUS YOUR 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 4:39:40 KJV

Lelia Naylor Morris wrote a beautiful hymn about Jesus “The Pilot of Galilee”.  I love these words.  “He is my Pilot on life’s stormy sea, This wondrous Man of Galilee; I’m safe in His keeping, Tho’ storms are round me sweeping, This Pilot of Galilee.”  Is Jesus your Pilot?

Pastor Edward Hopper wrote the hymn “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.”

If you have been trying to do things by yourself, you will never succeed.  Life is too hard for us to make it by ourselves and satan attacks us with lies, discouragement, disappointments and other things to try and keep us from serving Jesus.  We need Jesus to pilot our life.  Thank God for our Pilot.
