STORM TRUST
A little technical challenge today...sorry for the delay...be blessed!
... Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
This little passage was shared yesterday.
Matthew 8:23-26
23 Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. 24 A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. 25 His followers went to him and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We will drown!”
26 Jesus answered, “Why are you afraid? You don’t have enough faith.” Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm.
Jesus hid away for a quick respite, He was out of sight for just an instant and then when the storm came up they forgot everything He had taught them about faith and assurance.
Isn’t that just like us? We do that don’t we?
We are rock solid on Sunday’s or at the Bible study. We can recite scripture and offer praise. We may even share a little application or two. But “separate us” from all of that for just a second and have a little adversity pop up and watch how we are a lot like the disciples.
We panic too don’t we?
We forget what we know.
We focus on the storm.
We think we are about to perish.
But just like them, we aren’t going to perish.
Jesus is there. Just like in the boat.
Jesus is at peace. Just like in the boat.
And our storm doesn’t faze Him just like the storm the disciples faced. Why?
Because HE controls it all. Just like from the boat.
We need to remember that.
Remember storms will blow up around us from nowhere all the time.
But don’t fixate on the storm. Instead remember…
Jesus is at peace.
Jesus is in control.
Jesus is still here.
Deuteronomy 31:6
6 Be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid …and don’t be frightened, because the Lord your God will go with you. He will not leave you or forget you.
I love you all!
