Suddenlys in our lives.

Matthew 8:24-25
Without warning, a furious storm came upon the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!" (NIV)

As with the disciples it seems that SUDDENLY "Furious Storms" come into our lives. Does God know that they are there? Most certainly! Is he the Lord over that situation again most certainly. Are we allowing him to be the Lord over the situation??? Does it seem to us that Jesus is sleeping in the bottom of the boat and unconcerned????

In the mist of the storms that pop up in our lives we need to trust him. Do you think that Jesus would have let the boat sink, of coarse not. Nothing in Heaven or hell could have sunk that boat because the Son of God was on it. You say that that's fine because Jesus was with them! Well don't we have the promise that he will NEVER leave us or forsake us, and If God be for us Who can be against us?

We his children need to realize that we mean AS MUCH TO HIM AS ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN OR WILL BE.

There is so many times we want to escape the storm when the lesson is in the storm. But without storms and diversity in our lives there is no chance for our faith to grow.

Welcome the Storms not because of what they are but because of the storm we will be have a chance to be drawn nearer to him. Remember 1 Thes. 5:18 "In everything give THANKS for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. We give thanks not for the situation but that we belong to the LORD over the situation.

So when suddenlys come upon us and they seem to sneak or drop in remember this is the opportunity to give thanks and to have our Faith in Him increase.
