Fellow Captains,
Here's a little ditty to inspire you and it's good to read when the sea gets up and rowdy. Hold Fast and Trust by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him" (Job 13:15). "For I know whom I have believed" (2 Tim. 1:12). "I will not doubt, though all my ships at sea Come drifting home with broken masts and sails; I will believe the Hand which never fails, From seeming evil worketh good for me. And though I weep because those sails are tattered, Still will I cry, while my best hopes lie shattered: 'I trust in Thee.' "I will not doubt, though all my prayers return Unanswered from the still, white realm above; I will believe it is an all-wise love Which has refused these things for which I yearn; And though at times I cannot keep from grieving, Yet the pure ardor of my fixed believing Undimmed shall burn. "I will not doubt, though sorrows fall like rain, And troubles swarm like bees about a hive. I will believe the heights for which I strive Are only reached by anguish and by pain; And though I groan and writhe beneath my crosses. I yet shall see through my severest losses The greater gain. "I will not doubt. Well anchored is this faith, Like some staunch ship, my soul braves every gale; So strong its courage that it will not quail To breast the mighty unknown sea of death. Oh, may I cry, though body parts with spirit, 'I do not doubt,' so listening worlds may hear it, With my last breath." Fair winds, Capt. Josh "You must then know the sea and know that you know it and not forget that it was meant to be sailed over" |
