Matthew 14
New King James Version (NKJV)
22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea,[a] tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
Greetings my Dear Beloved Brothers and Sisters,
Indeed these are stormy and turbulent times that we are living in. The economy has not yet recovered in fact, the current administration has been in office almost 4 years and things have not gotten better but things have gotten worse. The Democrats nor the Republicans have the solution for this economic storm. Millions of people have lost their jobs, homes and some have lost families due to the stormy times that we are experiencing in our daily lives. In the book of Matthew the 14th chapter Jesus spoke these words," Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid." The disciples were experiencing a storm on the boisterous sea just as we are experiencing now in our lives. Jesus encouraged them and I want to encourage you with his words,"Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid." The scriptures also declares," God will never leave you nor forsake you.' No matter what type of storms you may be going through, whether it's a financial storm, a relationship storm, a health storm, a storm on your job, or a storm in your home the Lord is there with you. He declares," Fear not...for I am with you!" In-spite of what you are going through God's got you. There is a blessing in the storm, often time we are unable to see the blessing because our focus is not on God. We tend to see the devil in everything instead of seeing and exalting God in everything. O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together! I tell you there is a blessing in the storm! You may have gotten laid off because God wants you to start your own business, the relationship may have failed because God has someone better for you. When one door closes, God has already open a new door....God is doing a new thing! There is a blessing in the storm, change your perspective and see God in all things...you may have been involved in an accident but God....he knew you needed some rest....could it be that God wants you to have a new vehicle?...could this storm be from God and not the devil to propel you into your destiny? My Brothers and my Sisters there is a blessing in your storm...count it all joy! If you can see God in your storm you will see the blessing.....the devil may have meant it for your harm but God.....all things work together for your good!...There is a blessing in the storm!
