Hello Saints of the Most High 
Sharing time...
This week's promise:
God is faithful to those who love him
What guides your life?
"I will never fail you, I will never forsake you."
Hebrews 13:5 NLT
An unfailing God
A battleship had been at sea on maneuvers in heavy weather for several days. Visibility was poor because the fog was thick and patchy, so the captain of the ship remained on the bridge. Shortly after dark the ship's lookout reported seeing a light in the direction of the starboard bow. "Is it steady or moving astern?" asked the captain. "Steady, Captain," came the reply. After further watch the captain knew that they were on a collision course with this other ship, so he called out to the signalman, "Signal that ship: We are on a collision course. Advise you change course 20 degrees."
The signal was sent, and immediately one was returned. "Advisable for you to change course 20 degrees," was the reply. The captain quickly had another signal sent. "I am a captain. Change course 20 degrees." Once again a response came quickly. "I am a seaman second class. You had better change course 20 degrees." By this time the captain was furious, and he barked an! other signal. "I am a battleship. Change your course!" Back came a simple message. "I am a lighthouse." Needless to say, the captain changed his course.
Some things in life are constant and unchanging. They are the beacons that guide us throughout life. God's faithfulness is like that. We can bark and complain all we want, but in the end, we are the ones who will have to adjust our course.
