Depicting the tension between faith in Jesus' saving power and man's power to save himself.

For I am in good Hands.
Is it possible that You can be both unsettling and comforting at the same time? To approach a greater understanding of Your sovereignty brings me to that place. There is literally nothing too difficult for You. And if You challenge me to greater, I know You will be there with me, thus comforted. Yet for the same reason, I know You will most definitely challenge me to greater, because nothing is too hard for You.
And You who live in me, shall not settle for mediocre. Nothing is quite as ordinary as a typical day, but Your Presence means You're bound to stir up something. It is almost a fact with You that You draw all sorts of surprises near. At least, they are surprises to me, since nothing surprises You, O God!
And so, I should not be surprised any longer, in that when blessings or calamities befall me, it is simply the Savior exercising His sovereignty, and I His vessel in the storm. If it be me at the helm, hope is lost. But You, the Creator of the sea and swell, find no trouble ahead. Sure, the panels may creak, the masting strained, yet You shall chart a sure course through it all. For I, battered as I may be, am in good Hands.
