Through trials, tribulations, times of doubt, and difficult storms, I have learned that I can trust His heart when I cannot hear His voice.
Luke 8:22-25
22Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
In the beginning, Jesus spoke and created the universe.
Thus it was no big deal for Him to speak to the wind and waves of His creation and have them obey Him.
Yet for the disciples, who were still growing in their awareness of who Jesus is, it was an amazing miracle.
We all know that Jesus is Lord and we can repeat the phrase easily.
But we often do not really know Him as Lord in the practical, daily situations we encounter, so the Lord often does for us what He did for the disciples.
Jesus', led them into this storm.
Jesus said, “Let us go over unto the other side of the lake."
Luke 8:22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
Isaiah 45:6-7
6) That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7) I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Whenever you’re in a storm, even though you may think at first that the Lord is not there, He is there!
As true believer's, the first thing we must do in the storms of life is to affirm that Jesus is Lord, even over the storms.
Seek Him When He May Be Found
