Blessing for June 17th 2008

[jeremiah7]

He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. (Psalm 107:29)

Imagine God the father putting his finger to His lips and saying "Hush" to a storm that is raging.
That's what He's going to do about the storms that are lashing at your life.
Do you believe that?
Perhaps you are at your wit's end with all the problems that have befallen you.
They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wits' end. (Psalm 107:27)
Nothing seems to be working right for you!!!
You've been crying out to the Lord for deliverance but haven't seen much/any!!!
Well, don't stop crying out because He's going to still the storms in your life to a whisper.
You are going to say what the disciples said when Jesus calmed the storm in front of their eyes. This is what they said,

"Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!" (Mark 4:41)
God bless.

Matthew 14:23-27

23 Afterward he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves.
25 About three o’clock in the morning* Jesus came to them, walking on the water. 26 When the disciples saw him, they screamed in terror, thinking he was a ghost. 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “It’s all right,” he said. “I am here! Don’t be afraid.”

While I don't believe that Jesus calms every storm in our lives, He does give us His inner peace and strength to endure them. Paul's life is a very good example. In the scripture quoted we can see one very important encouragement, no matter how big or frightening a situation may be we can count on Jesus to come walking on top of the very thing that we feared. He really is Lord with everything beneath His feet, and He doesn't mind demonstrating it, even for those of us who have little faith.
