Straight Ahead

At sometime during World War II,
 a passenger ship set sail from Great Britain
 headed for port in New York City.

The Captain of the ship being afraid
of enemy vessels, sought the advise and
 guidance of the British Admiral.

The Admiral calmly assured the captain
that no matter what happens, he should
 be sure to sail his ship straight ahead.

 "Do not take any detours --
sail the ship straight ahead --
continue on-ward,
heading straight towards
the intended mark" he said.

After several days of sailing across
the Atlantic Ocean which was undeniably
filled with submarines and enemy vessels
of all kinds, the Captain spotted an
enemy destroyer off his forward bow.

Nervously he grasped the handset
and called for assistance.
The calm voice replied, "Keep on straight,
Do not detour, just sail the ship straight ahead.
 Everything will be just fine.
Just keep on going - straight ahead."

After a couple more days the ship pulled
 safely into the great harbor of New York city.
Shortly after docking the great British battleship
"Man-of-War" pulled into port behind the passenger vessel.

 The Captain realized that while he did not see
the British battleship, she was there, standing bye.
Standing ready to come to his defense
should it prove necessary.

So it is in our lives. God is standing by.
 We may not always see Him there,
 but He is. Waiting.
Bidding us onward toward the mark...
Keep your ship on course.
 Keep on going - straight ahead...
