Where is your
faith? It's easy to find your faith when
everything is calm and going your way.
It's easy to find your faith when you are surrounded by like-minded
believers. It's easy to find your faith
when you are excited by something new the Lord has done for you. It's easy to find your faith when you are in
your comfort zone. But, where is your
faith when things aren't going your way, when life gets stormy and scary?
There are times in
life like it was for the disciples out on the stormy sea when everything seems
like you are drowning. You may find
yourself in over your head financially and there doesn't seem to be any way out
of your storm. Maybe things are really
bad at home and they are falling apart at the seams. Maybe your job is on very shaky ground. Maybe your storm is health issues. Or, perhaps you find yourself in way over
your head due to sinful choices and you are hanging on by a thread.
When life's storms
overwhelm and overpower you, do like the disciples did. They went to the Lord and cried out to Him
for help. They knew that without His
help they had no hope. They didn't know
what He could do, but they believed He could do something to help them. Jesus heard their cry and quickly rebuked
their storm and immediately there was a calmness, a peace. Jesus may not calm your storm, but He will
calm you if you cry out to Him. He may
not make your storm go away, but He will show you a way through it. He may not do just what you want Him to do,
but He will work things out for your good in a way that glorifies Him.
Where is your
faith? Do you believe Jesus can help you
through your stormy life? Do you have
enough faith in the Lord to trust Him to help you? Call out to Him today and you will find the
peace of the Lord to see you through.
Call out to Him and He will calm you and it will be good.
Where is your
faith? Is it only good for you during
the good times, or is the Lord able to help you through the bad times? Do you have faith in God’s ability to help
you in the times you can’t figure out what is going on or why?
Where is your
faith? Is it rooted in your abilities to
handle what is going on, or is it rooted in God’s ability to help you do all
things through Christ our Lord?
