Kingdom Living Now              Hebrews 12:12-24

One ship drives east and another drives west

With the selfsame winds that blow.

‘Tis the set of the sails and not the gales

Which tell us the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate,

As we voyage along through life;

‘Tis the set of a soul, that decides its goal.

And not the calm or the strife.

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox
