Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word. It always opens your eyes to how BIG God really is! It always reminds you of what God could do, when we use our faith, and just obey. Mark 4:35 – That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was in the boat. There were also other boats with them. A furious storm came up, and the waves broke over the boat so that it was beginning to sink. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why were you so afraid? Do you still have no faith? They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him.” Who is this? Do you know who this is? Have you forgotten who is in the boat with you? What storm is rising up right now on the horizon? What waves are threatening to sink your ship? Where is your faith? Is it so small? Is it too small for this storm? Is God himself too small for this storm? Whatever the storm or the need you face… Is your fear bigger than your faith? Do you think Jesus doesn’t care? Or doesn’t see? He is just waiting for you to ask and to believe – that He will rebuke the wind, and speak to the waves - again. He rebukes the source of the turmoil, and He calms everything that is raging around you. He knew the storm was coming. He already has the rebuke and the Word ready. This is your chance! to use your faith to overcome the fear. If you only - know Who this is… it will be easy. The more you know Him, the easier it gets for your faith to replace the fear. Faith is yours! It’s in you! Because God gave it to you, the measure you need – for this storm. Just use it. Fear is not yours. That’s just what the devil is trying to give you – to see if you will take it as your own, when it doesn’t even belong to you – to see if you will take it, rather than what God has given you - the faith you need to overcome. Know Him more, and speak your faith. So the LORD will rebuke the wind and speak to the waves that are coming against you and trying to sink you. Who is this? He is the Storm-Killer, the Peace-Giver, your Strong Tower, your Way-Maker, your Life-Saver, your Healer and your Mighty Deliverer. Do you know Who this is? That’s in the boat with you? If you do – everything that happens outside of the boat doesn’t matter, only Who’s in the boat with you matters. Who Is This? – that’s all you need to know. Every storm doesn’t matter – He is the LORD over it. He will save you! He will bring you through it! Praying that you will know Him more, so your faith overcomes every fear. The more time you spend with Him, His Presence, His Word, and getting His plan for you, the more you will know Who This Is – who speaks to the wind and the waves to be still. Praying that you will Know Him More, and Speak Your Faith. You have it, just use it, speak your faith more than the fear speaks. His Word is the fuel of your faith. Praying that you will speak it – so your faith grows stronger, so the One in the boat with you can speak to the wind and the waves. Love you all, dad
