We all want certain Life Goals achieve. As different as these may seem, the paths to getting there are just as varied. Yet many believers have the impression that they aren't really making much progress on their journey, or that they aren't quite heading in the right direction. What can we do about that? How can we live a more purposeful life? James offers us a remarkable insight from the world of sailing.

The direction a ship takes is determined by the rudder. The direction the rudder sets determines where the journey will take you. Sigrid will help you think about the significance of this “oar” in our lives and our daily routines —and about the fact that there is, after all, a steering wheel, which in turn steers the rudder. The question is, who is holding it…

Behold, even ships, though they are so large and driven by strong winds, are nevertheless steered with a small rudder, wherever the one who guides it wants to go.
James 3:4
