Nope, this is not a biological post on the abilities of whales to transcend oceans.
From 2000-2004 , as part of my job in the army , I do need to dive , from time to time, if I am not writing accident reports or shooting at a piece of paper.
I was blessed that I had paid vacation diving trips to France and United States. Okay , for clarifications, they were working trips , It happened to be cold in L’orient and the currents at Key West was fast !
I was just an average guy , I did not always manage to secure a ladder onto a ship nor do I always remain submerged and hidden.
But there was a piece of equipment , that you must hold on to and if you followed it , it will get you to your destination.
It was a compass board .
You hold on to it as level as you can , align the compass direction, compensate for tides , currents , and swim towards your destination.
The same is true for clear or murky waters , day or night .
I had since learnt that The Bible is our compass in life , hold on to it for dear life , and keep going in the direction that God may have prompted you , there will be drifts and there will be current pushing against us , we just have to keep trusting the Word of God .
Follow the compass.
Follow what God had spoken to you.
I think it is sure and clear in a world of conflicting logic , viewpoints , good advices and humanism
We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments andare perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair;
We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 AMPC
For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.
2 Corinthians 5:7 AMPC
I hope you are encouraged.
