Lord of the Storms

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“When the people saw the sign (miracle) that Jesus had performed, they began saying, Surely and beyond a doubt this is the Prophet Who is to come into the world! Then Jesus, knowing that they meant to come and seize Him that they might make Him king, withdrew again to the hillside by Himself alone. When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, And they took a boat and were going across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and still Jesus had not [yet] come back to them. Meanwhile, the sea was getting rough and rising high because of a great and violent wind that was blowing. [However] when they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat. And they were afraid (terrified). But Jesus said to them, It is I; be not afraid! [I Am; stop being frightened!] Then they were quite willing and glad for Him to come into the boat. And now the boat went at once to the land they had steered toward. [And immediately they reached the shore toward which they had been slowly making their way.]” John 6v14-21 (AMP)

Today’s encouragement is to strengthen your resolve in the fact that our God is the Lord of the storm. Are you struggling with something? Is it taking you a long time to reach your destination? Do the storms of life seem to be overwhelming you at the moment? Why don’t you welcome Jesus into the boat of your life? In this instance, Jesus was initially outside the boat, but immediately they let Him in, they arrived at their destination. 1 Chronicles 16v9 (AMP) tells us that “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him. You have done foolishly in this; therefore, from now on you shall have wars.” King … of whom this scripture was spoken of failed to take his issues to the Lord as he had done in time past. Why not invite Him into that situation that you are struggling with instead of trying to resolve it by yourself? He has proved Himself to you over and over again – He won’t fail you now.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, please come into the boat of my life. I hand you the reins of my life. Please take charge and take control and be glorified in all that I do in Jesus name, amen.
