When the wind of circumstance blows mightily in opposing directions, resistance is futile. We have no option but to ‘give way to it.’ Submitting to its force and power, we simply let go of the wheel of control and our ship of life is “driven along” to destinations unknown. Like Paul on his journey to Rome…
“They lost all control of the ship. It was a cork in the storm,” (Acts 27.14-15).
