The Rough waters of circumstances do not have the final say, they are but a means to an end…that we might know Him better! Remember Jesus Christ!
“As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”
When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. Then He asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!” -{Mark 4:35-41}.
NOTE- He Led them INTO the Storms! The storms exposed their DOUBTS about His care for them, exposed as a result their FEARS for their safety, and their LITTLE FAITH..IN HIM! THE CIRCUMSTANCES REVEAL OUR TRUE THOUGHTS CONCERNING HIM!
“BUT GOD….” IS BIGGER AND GREATER! He would demonstrate His care and faithfulness, and ultimate power over the circumstances! As He was He is today! Almighty God. He does as He pleases, when He pleases, How He pleases. If He chooses to deliver who can stop Him!
Thank God the “winds” of ever changing circumstances do not control or master
Him. He is the Master and Controller and reigns supreme over all. “Hold that GOD is Faithful.”{Hudson Taylor}
He who ruled the waves, still rules.He can calm the troubled winds and waters, He still calms the troubled seas,He still calms Troubled hearts!
THOUGHT; Don’t allow the circumstances to dictate your faith, allow His Word to rule your focus.
Focus ON HIM, Who is with you and who is LORD Over your circumstance!
