Sometimes it Takes a Shipwreck

This post is from Linda Taylor

Chapter 5 of Mark Batterson’s book Wild Goose Chase is a chapter I hope you will all read and let God speak to you. It is titled Sometimes “It Takes a Shipwreck” and I felt it was about surrendering your life and plans to God and let Him write and direct the story of my life.

It reinforced a place of trust and surrender, even when the winds of my life blow in a different direction than I thought or when I meet with a shipwreck or difficulty….God is still in control and is bringing me where He wants me to be. He is not limited to the circumstances I see so my response is to continue to pursue Him and His will.

On Page 126 Mark said ”when you give Jesus complete editorial control over your life He begins writing His story through your life.” So my pursuit is for His story to come through my life and it takes a lot of the pressure off of me.

Hebrews 12:2 Keeping our eyes on Jesus, Author and Finisher of our faith.
