To sail upon the natural sea

“In order for a man to sail upon the natural sea, he must have a proper vessel fitted for his journey.  So too for a man to sail upon this ‘sea of the knowledge of the glory of GOD’ he must be given a vessel with which to traverse its bounding main.  This vessel is not designed by men and not one piece of its construction is carried out by those who are given the privilege of navigating this body of life sustaining water.  ‘For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.’” (2 Corinthians 4:6-7)
