He maketh the storm a calm

"He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still" (Psalms 107:29 KJV). From a place of comfort and self strength, step out onto the water and let Christ be the Lord of your life. The spiritual storms that surround us can get pretty strong. They can blow in the uproar and tear down. Sometimes they cause division between loved ones and bring hurt and bitterness. So many times, the storms that surround our lives in a lifetime are here to build up our faith. God does not allow them to push us down nor do they come to drown us in misery, but the storms come to build faith in you and I. Jesus knew the storms would come and cause chaos in lives. He has seen the hurt and the pain that spiritual storms have caused in homes and relationships. He has seen the inability of man rising up in one's own strength during a spiritual storm. So, Jesus comes when we cry out to Him. He has promised us that He will be there for us at all times. Just like His disciples, we also get fearful and may lose courage when problems arise from the spiritual storms. However, we as believers and disciples in the name of Jesus Christ build our house upon the Rock. We build our lives on the Word of God, Jesus Christ. Fear is common, and it will reach into a man's mind and heart and try to cause unbelief and confusion. The enemy has been using fear since the time man first came into the garden. Man hid from God. When the storms come, it is not the time to hide from God, but the time to hide ourselves in God. Give God praise. God bless you. Amen
