"CLAIMING THE HIGH C'S"
PART IV
THE EARLY VOYAGE
And we know that all things work together for good
to them that love God,
to them that are called according to His purpose.
... In all these things
we are more than conquerors
through Him that loved us
(Romans 8:28 and 37, KJV.)

Cohesion on our voyage...
Look, can you see?
 (The) old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new.
(II Corinthians 5:17)
|
Every day on our voyage something new appears... something fresh and invigorating happens. It's good that nothing can separate us from the care of our Captain and His vessel... such surety gives us the power to enjoy every moment in freedom and liberty.
Each person in North America leads a busy, hectic, fast paced life. Some days there is little opportunity to even take a deep breath until the sun sets and exhaustion hits. Messages throughout the daylight hours urge you on: "Hurry, hurry up. Can't you hurry up?" "I'd like this work finished before you leave tonight." "What's wrong with you? You're so slow!"
In this busy lifestyle, sometimes it is hard to remember that you aren't alone or without help. Sometimes it's easy to forget that two can work together and have much better results. Perhaps you don't feel like anyone cares and there's an overwhelming heavy load on your back. Yes, you might feel all alone and think there's no one to "stick" with you through the tough stuff.
