Day 4 The Slow Turning of the Ship

Day 4 The Slow Turning of the Ship

DAY 4 — THE SLOW TURNING OF THE SHIP

“Conversion Happens One Degree at a Time”

A tourist on a seaside pier watched a massive ship far out in the ocean.
He noticed it was turning —
but incredibly slowly,
almost as if it wasn’t turning at all.

He asked a sailor nearby,
“Why does it move so slowly?
It looks like nothing is happening.”

The sailor smiled and said,
“A ship this big can’t turn quickly.
If it spins too fast, it breaks.
So it turns one degree at a time.
Give it patience…
and soon it will be facing a completely new direction.”

The tourist watched again —
and realized the ship was indeed turning.
Not with speed,
but with purpose.


We often expect instant conversion —
overnight holiness,
immediate change,
perfect discipline from day one.

But the human heart is not a speedboat.
It is a large vessel
with memories, wounds, habits, fears,
and old patterns of sin.

If God turned you too fast,
you would break.
So He turns you gently —
one degree at a time.

This is the grace of Lent:
slow transformation,
steady shifting,
daily small obediences
that eventually redirect the entire course of your life.

Never despise slow change.
Slow change is real change.
