Pull at the Oar

By Cuyler

PULL AT THE OAR.—The servants of Jesus are like rowers in a boat. They sit with their backs to the bow, and cannot see what lies ahead. But the helmsman at the stern is on the lookout, and he steers the boat whithersoever he wills. So in our godly undertakings we sit with our backs to the future. It is all unknown, untried, and impenetrable. We know not what the morrow may bring forth. But it is our business to pull at the oar of prayer and earnest labor. There is a divine Helmsman who sees the future, and who holds the rudder in his hand. We have only to commit our way to him, and to pull at the oar of duty.—Cuyler.
