His navigation systems have been destroyed by the storm. He&rsquo;s running out of food and water.

A sea-parting, storm-calming, dead-man-raising Figure who through his salty blurred eyes looks like the very Son of God, Jesus. The sailor jumps out of the boat and runs to him on the water, and at the moment of embrace he knows beyond the shadow of a doubt that he has been saved, that every evil deed and thought he ever had are completely forgiven and that all the hope that was lost has been restored.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/reading-plans\/18353-live-at-the-wheelhouse-a-6-day-devo-we-the-kingdom\" target=\"_blank\">Continue reading... the complete 6-day plan can be found on the YouVersion app.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yD0FfAouZ9A?rel=0\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<h2><img alt=\"\" height=\"54\" src=\"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/614\/623def90255b1.png\" width=\"437\" \/><\/h2>\n\n<h3>We The Kingdom is...<\/h3>\n\n<p>an American contemporary Christian music band signed to the Capitol Christian Music Group.

We feel enslaved to our schedules, our fears, our addictions, our sin. Yet, scripture says that &ldquo;Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom&rdquo; (2 Corinthians 3:17). Isn&rsquo;t He everywhere? Doesn&rsquo;t His Spirit cover the earth? Then why do we still feel enslaved?<\/p>\n\n<p>Historically, before Jesus came, we were held under the law of Moses with all its rules and regulations. This law was represented by a veil between us and God. We were being crushed under the weight of this law, knowing that no one, no matter how good, could ever attain it. Jesus came to fulfill the law and to bring freedom. What? That seems like a paradox! Galatians 3:19 teaches that the purpose of the law was to show us that we could never reach it and to make our sins very obvious to us, exposing our desperate need for a&nbsp; Savior.<\/p>\n\n<p>When Jesus came, the veil in the temple was completely ripped in half, so that we could run to God the Father hand in hand with Jesus. Yet, life on earth still feels like we&rsquo;re trapped inside a sterile waiting room, waiting to feel free and waiting for the complete unveiling of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n<p>In my life right now, I am engaged to my wonderful fianc&eacute;. Even though we have so much fun together and I absolutely adore him, I feel a great tension between the already and not yet. He asked me to marry him, I said yes, we will be married, but we aren&rsquo;t yet. My walk with Jesus feels strangely similar sometimes.

Despite this innate desire, we often times look for it in all the wrong places. Maybe it&rsquo;s to fill a void. Maybe it&rsquo;s just to feel something. The truth is, forgiveness is one of the most intimate things we can ever experience because in order to be forgiven, we have to first remove the &ldquo;clothes&rdquo; we&rsquo;ve used to cover up the depths of our heart and choose to invite God into our mess. And this is extremely terrifying and very uncomfortable. But, there is nothing like having the senses of our soul reawakened by the loving-kindness of the Savior.<\/p>\n\n<p>Psalm 103:10&ndash;14 says, &ldquo;He has not punished us as we deserve for all our sins, for His mercy toward those who fear and honor Him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far away from us as the east is from the west. He is like a father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence him.&rdquo; In my own life, knowing the things I&rsquo;ve done and the thoughts I&rsquo;ve thought, this verse has been difficult for me to understand and even believe for myself. However, the beautiful thing is that the truth of forgiveness doesn&rsquo;t hinge off of a belief. It is solely based upon a decision &ndash; a decision to acknowledge and receive something that has already been given. Given to you and me. In other words, you don&rsquo;t have to organize your sin or even try and manage your shame. This is only pride telling you that you are way better than to be seen all muddy and dirty in front of the King, how dare you embarrass yourself like that!<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/reading-plans\/18353-live-at-the-wheelhouse-a-6-day-devo-we-the-kingdom\" target=\"_blank\">Continue reading... the complete 6-day plan can be found on the YouVersion app.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/APayxOmS_UE?rel=0\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<h2><img alt=\"\" height=\"54\" src=\"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/614\/623def90255b1.png\" width=\"437\" \/><\/h2>\n\n<h3>We The Kingdom is...<\/h3>\n\n<p>an American contemporary Christian music band signed to the Capitol Christian Music Group.
