How do we trust Jesus when the storms of life hit?
His disciples were overcome with fear when a storm tossed and turned their boat
as they crossed the sea. What was Jesus doing? Sleeping peacefully. His
fear-filled companions woke Him.
He
got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, Quiet! Be still. Then the wind
died down and it was completely calm. Matthew 4:39.
Even
when fear begins to overtake you; even when it seems as if your God is sleeping or
ignoring your prayers, He is there. He knows it all. Someimtes He takes us
through the fire. Sometimes He walks us around it and we avoid it all together.
And sometimes He just takes us home. He is in charge and He will fight for us.
He is there and understands.
He
says, “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I
will be exalted in the earth.” Plalm 46:10
The
Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14
Allow
your soul and spirit to find stillness today in the midst of your struggles. He
is fighting for you. Trust Him. Let His peace wash over you. Be still. And know
that He is God.
Lord,
Our human frailties take over and we lose hope.
Help our unbelief. You are there and when the timing is right You calm the
waters of our storms. You take us through and we understand more of Your
comfort and strength. Give us Your peace right now.
In Jesus name,
Amen
