Put up your Sails

A life without faith is a like sitting on a boat in stagnant water. It is a content life of mediocrity, neither good nor bad. For most of the world, all they’re seeking is a life of contentment. As Christians, we're not called to seek a life of contentment.

Faith believes in the unseen, it believes in the wind. Faith puts up the sails and trusts everything it has with the wind. Therefore, faith has no idea where the wind will take it, but it trusts it’s much better then the life of mediocrity it had with the sails down.

True faith is completely radical. It's another case of go big or go home. It can’t put the sails up, yet still steer the boat with the rudders. If it does that, it lost the hope of where the wind was taking it and the safety of where it was.

God is the wind. Make the choice. Put your sails up.
