In an ocean, where would you rather be – on a plank or on a ship? Well, the difference is obvious. To be on a plank is more adventurous than to be on a ship coz you will feel each and every wave, every ups and downs, every splash of water on your face & you might even drench yourself in water.

But when you are on a ship, you wouldn’t feel a thing. No waves or big tides, it’ll be as steady as a rock. No water splashing, no drenching,nothing. You wouldn’t feel you are on a ship. You would feel more secure and safe .

You would want to be on that ship now rather than on this small wooden plank.

Well here’s the twist- to be on this plank is better than to be on that ship. Why? Because in the presence of God, i.e. the ocean, you would want to feel every wave and every tide of the Holy Spirit, and let the water splash on your face and be drenched in His presence. You would also want to see the supernatural and experience it up close and personal. How much more adventurous can it be! In a ship, how much ever strong the Holy Spirit blows this huge ship would just rock from side to side and be all cozied up on the inside. Feeling nothing but the AC and breathing the same recirculated air. That’s how today’s church has become , not letting the Holy Spirit in and work within them.

So here’s what I am getting at-Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Open the windows, let the Holy Spirit in and let Him do what He wants and move within you. Stop letting your flesh rule over you.Lower yourself in His presence and be the plank. Let no ego or sensual desire rule over you,being cozied up on the inside and not letting the Holy Spirit work.

You wouldn’t want to be on a ship in the presence of God do you?
