CALMING THE STORM

As Christians, we can wrongly believe that if we follow Jesus we’ll never go through storms in life. Or we may start to believe Satan’s lies that we’re not really His, this storm will take us down and God doesn’t care, He must be sleeping on the job… the lies can go on and on.

But let’s remember the words of truth, the words of Jesus to His disciples who followed Him into a storm in Matthew 8! “He gave a command to depart to the other side.” Matthew 8:18.

And in Psalm 23 when the Shepherd leads his sheep through the valley, we hear: “I will fear no evil; For You are with me”.

Jesus our Good Shepherd knows how and where to lead us, and following where He leads is the best place to be.

Ask Him not just to give you peace from the storm but His peace within the storm. Remember His Word, and that He is near and truly knows the best and safest path. And that ultimately, He is leading us to Himself.

With Love,
