Great Storms

Psalm 107:29

He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

Picture  this if you will. You are out on the ocean and you are on a good solid boat, and the sun is shining. You are following a pleasant breeze that is pushing you along. Life is sweet. However, as you go along, the sky starts getting darker, and the waves are getting bigger by the minute. Before you know it, waves are washing over the deck. Pretty scary don't you think?

Matthew 8: 23 - 27,  and when He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, and the boat was being swamped by the waves; but He was asleep. And they went and woke Him, saying, save us Lord we are perishing. And He said to them, why are you afraid, oh you of little faith? Then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, what sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey Him?

There are many similarities in these verses, to life in this broken country and world. Up until recently we as a country lived in a place of warmth and sunshine for most people. The stock market was good, unemployment was at an all-time low , and the election was coming. Everything was turned upside down in what seemed like a split second. Nothing made any sense. People were told about all kinds of bad things that would happen, but they didn't believe it.

We are in an incredibly perilous time for our country, and it is  especially dangerous for people of faith. Like the biggest, most violent and destructive storm ever. What can we do?

2 Psalm 34:17-21,  When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their Wicked Ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

The Lord knows His, and like a good shepherd, He will protect His sheep. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve Only You.  

Praise the Lord! 

Amen
