The Berean – Proverbs 29:18 NKJV
Proverbs 29:18
(18) Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But happy is he who keeps the law.New King James Version Change your email Bible version
The Living Bible paraphrases the first phrase, “Where there is ignorance of God the people run wild.” For us, that ignorance is gone because of God’s calling. We have a prophetic vision, and we discipline ourselves to restrain human nature, to keep it from exercising its will. Thus, we are now governing ourselves as a normal part of life. This has to be, or we will not be prepared for God’s Kingdom. We must do as Christ did.
We need to be a people with a sharp vision of where we are headed in life. The gospel tells us why we were born and provides us with detailed knowledge on how to prepare for that goal. The relationship with our God frames these elements into a vision that becomes our goal in life and helps to motivate us to do what is good in God’s sight.
Hebrews 11:10 says that Abraham “waited for the city . . . whose Builder and Maker is God.” This was a major part of his motivating vision. Hebrews 11:27 tells us that Moses “endured as seeing Him who is invisible.” These men followed the vision that formed as a result of their relationship with God and what He taught them. As we walk with Christ, we are led along similar paths.
They believed thrillingly good news that provided them with the motivation to submit their lives to God’s will. I Corinthians 9:24-27 shows us Paul’s example of what every person who has achieved a great goal has had to learn and do:
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
Those who achieve must be focused on a goal to a degree given to no other area of life. They must be determined, disciplined, and sacrificial enough to become exceptionally skilled at what they hope to achieve.
However, regarding what we hope to achieve in becoming part of the Kingdom of God, even going all out is not enough! We cannot achieve our goal without Jesus Christ, our sovereign God, Creator, Savior, and High Priest, by whom we are saved because He is alive and oversees our lives. He supplies every need for salvation and sustains us along the way. Salvation is absolutely, totally impossible without help from Him.

“The Ocean Race Europe is a compelling new challenge for us to take on,” said skipper Nicolas Troussel. “As a fully-crewed race from the Atlantic coast of France into the Mediterranean Sea with several stops it has an interesting race route. It will be a new style of racing for us, and fits our calendar well as we develop our season of racing this year.”
The Ocean Race Europe is a new event, created by the organisers of The Ocean Race as part of a 10-year programme of racing through 2031. The European event will run every four years (2021, 2025, 2029), in the gaps between the around the world editions of The Ocean Race (2022-23, 2026-27, 2030-31), to provide a continuous racing programme.
This inaugural edition of The Ocean Race Europe will see two fleets in action – the technology-driven IMOCA class and the one-design VO65s. The race course will see several point-scoring legs between iconic European cities, with the route to be confirmed soon.
“Having Nicolas Troussel and his CORUM L’Épargne Sailing Team confirm they will be on the start line of The Ocean Race Europe immediately raises the bar in the IMOCA fleet,” said Race Director Phil Lawrence. “We anticipate strong turnout in both classes, with the top names in our sport competing.”
Nicolas Troussel is a double-winner in the prestigious Solitaire du Figaro and has numerous championships and podiums in all of the major offshore races to his credit. His CORUM L’Épargne IMOCA is among the new generation of boats pushing foiling technology to the limit.
“It will be interesting to have the boat racing in a fully-crewed configuration,” Troussel said. “This is something we are still learning – how to reach the full potential of the boat, what is the best set-up – so The Ocean Race Europe will be a good test for our team to compete with other similar boats and a great opportunity to get racing in our IMOCA again.”
