Safely navigating through a part of the Pacific Ocean filled with reefs requires vessels to chart their course and sail along three lighthouses built in a straight line. By the same token, when the goals in our lives are in line with the will of God the Creator, we will be able to lead peaceful lives.
People who have forsaken God, however, will have goals that are in conflict and, when faced with problems that are lurking throughout their lives, end up going astray. When we place our focus on God who has created the universe and everything therein, He will subdue the raging wind, calm the sea, and help us safely navigate through life.
"Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their desired haven" (Psalm 107:30).
