Encouragement
Matthew 8:25….And the disciples came to him and and awoke him, saying, Lord save us, we perish.” The disciples had been on that boat with Jesus the whole time, yet they only woke Him up when the storm seemed too big for them. This has happened to most of us, myself included. We want to let Jesus rest until we have a storm in our lives. We don’t make time to talk to God’s son unless we feel like our problems need divine intervention.
When the storm was raging, Jesus was sleeping through it all. The disciples were in a state of panic, yet they knew what Jesus was capable of doing. They had witnessed him performing countless miracles, yet they were afraid of a storm. We should know that God created the seas and the storms obey Him as well. We have seen time and again what God does to those who follow Him in righteousness, yet we panic anytime we have issues in our lives, instead of having faith in Him.
People have questioned my sanity numerous times due to the way I handle situations. I don’t have a 9-5 job, yet I don’t stress about what I shall eat or how I shall pay my bills.However,I have never lacked. I talk to God daily and everyday He provides a solution to my problems. When my troubles seem bigger than life, I leave it all to Him. There is a reward in trusting God and I am a testimony that He provides for His own.
Rest in the storm and let He who controls the seas and oceans calm it for you. Talk to Him, have faith, and walk with Him daily.
