Sometimes the storms of life are raging so rough, and the heart easily gets discouraged. However, as the song writer sings:
“No matter what storm clouds may rock this ship of mine, the light of my Savior will lead me safely through the night. Though my ship may be rocky and my sails may be torn I shall rest in the eye of the storm.”
Sometimes the bills are mounting, and the tribulations seem like they won’t go away, but in Matthew 6:31-34 Jesus reminded you:
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Jesus is clearly encouraging you that tomorrow has so much worries of itself, and it is already sufficient, so stop worrying about it, as you have too much on your plate. But instead leave tomorrow in His hands, and seek Him, and His Kingdom first, and everything shall be given unto you. So when the storms of life begin to rage, and you begin to feel discouraged, remember that Jesus is a provider and a deliverer!
Amen Minister Gertrude, truly a very powerful message. When the storms are raging and the boat is filling up with water and all seems lost, Jesus is only a phone call away, waiting for us to come unto him and surrender all. We can rejoice and be glad in his power and might to calm the raging storms in our lives and allow to live in peace and tranquility that we desire. Thank you Minister Gertrude for lifting all of us up this day with the truth of His Word. May he continue to use as he blesses you to do his will.
