SAFE IN THE STORM

Life isn’t always easy, even if we are faithfully following Christ. As strange as it might seem, we can be in a whirlwind of trouble and the will of God at the same time. The Lord doesn’t always keep us from the storm, but He keeps us in the storm! He provides peace for our problems, just like He promised.

When everything around us is falling apart we can cling to His precious promises and find peace that passeth all understanding. As you face the difficulties of this day, consider this: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”(John 16:33).

Since He has overcome the world, there is no need for me to feel overwhelmed. Adrian Rogers said it well:

“The will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot keep you. His power is ever-present in your life as His child.

If I could have been there in the days of His flesh, I would have wanted to see Him walk across the sea and calm the waves. I can just see that kingly form with the wind in His hair, putting His foot steps on the sea, His garments billowing back. Smiling at the storm.

When the disciples saw Him walking on the water, what was their biggest problem? The water. Jesus in essence was saying, “What looks like it’s going to be over your head, is already under My feet.”

What are some problems that are drowning you in fear, in discouragement, in sadness today? Give them to Jesus. Remember: what is over your head is under His feet.”
