"Wow... how is the year already 1/12th past? This has been a hard month, our whole family agrees. Yet God has not let go of us. He has shown up in many ways and times. He is leading us.
Today I was pondering the application of the nautical/maritime signal flag "H." It also stands for "Pilot on Board." I liked that for my first initial. Jesus is my Pilot on board. But today I thought more about what that would really mean.
Apply this spiritually:
- A pilot knows the only safe way through dangerous waters
- The captain and owner of the ship do not
- They have to call the pilot on board
- It takes acknowledging your own need and lack of knowledge, skill and ability to do the steering oneself
- You have to fully trust the pilot as you turn everything into their hands - your ship [life], goods, crew [family], etc.
