"The Storm"

“The Storm”

And when He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.  And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but He was asleep.  And they went and woke Him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord’ we are perishing.”  And He said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?”  Then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.     Matthew 8:23-26



Sometimes, we all face adversities, and FEAR and ANXIETY comes crashing in, like the waves on the Sea of Galilee, and we like the disciples of Jesus Christ, feel like we are PERSHING, underneath the LOAD of our distress. 



And just like the disciples, we CRY OUT to the ONLY ONE who can bring our shipwrecked souls PEACE in the midst of our raging storm.  “SAVE US, Lord” we are PERISHING!”  And He, will say to US like He did to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of LITTLE FAITH?”  While sometimes, we FEEL like we are going down and NOT going to surface again, due to our LACK of FAITH in the ONE who is in COMPLETE CONTROL.  But when we LEARN and BELIEVE that GOD TRULY LOVES and CARES about US, then are FAITH becomes STEADFAST in the MIDST of the storm, because it is ANCHORED in the ROCK, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. And just like: He is in CONTROL of the wind and waves, He can and will be in CONTROL of the STORM that so easily diminishes our FAITH.



Now, for the TRUE BELIEVER, this is GOOD NEWS, but for the UNBELIEVER, you are STRUGGLING to keep yourself afloat, and SINKING in your sins, with a destiny of spending an ETERNITY IN HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY TO ESCAPE, when you get there.  However, God has a PLAN to RESCUE you, through the SHED BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST.  In order to be SAVED, you MUST TURN AWAY from your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God. And ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and let the MASTER of the SEA, control your STORM.  Do this NOW, while you still can.   He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
