Storms

Luke 8:22-25: 

One day he and his disciples got in a boat. "Let's cross the lake," he said. And off they went. It was smooth sailing, and he fell asleep. A terrific storm came up suddenly on the lake. Water poured in, and they were about to capsize. They woke Jesus: "Master, Master, we're going to drown!"

   Getting to his feet, he told the wind, "Silence!" and the waves, "Quiet down!" They did it. The lake became smooth as glass.

 Then he said to his disciples, "Why can't you trust me?" (the Message)

So why do I bring up this story? I mean it's a super awesome story but is this relevant today? Of course it is! God is a storm calmer! And what do storm-calmers do? Yup, they calm storms. And now you may be thinking that you're not actually in that many life threatening storms. So how can God be calming storms in your life?
Sometimes it feels like we have a storm on the inside. Temptations pull us in different directions like harsh gusts of wind. Depression soaks us like a cold shower of rain. Fear and Anxiety hits us like thunder. We get confused and upset and when people don't understand and see the massive storm we are going through we get even more confused and frustrated. And then the storm escalates. But do not forget to TRUST God! Pray that he will command these bad feelings to leave your heart. Pray that he will set you free from this storm. HE HAS AUTHORITY! He is stronger! And he sees this storm and understands how you are feeling. Let him calm the storms in your life. In daddy's lap you are safe from all storms.

Nahum 1:7

The LORD is good, 

a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him (NIV)


YOU ARE PRECIOUS!
