“But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marvelled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?” Matthew 8:26-27

We can only imagine how the disciples must have felt back then as they saw the waves crashing against their boat! They were being swayed from side to side in the deep dark sea. They were afraid for their lives! But our Lord was there all along. He just wanted them to trust.

Many times, we find ourselves in that same boat, and we wonder, “Lord, are you there at all?! Don’t you see these waves about to consume me?

But He is. He sees all, hears all, knows all. He is the same Lord that calmed that storm two thousand years ago and He can cause the winds and the seas to cease, and the trials of our lives to become calm in an instant.

Find your “Shalom” in the midst of your storm. For it’s in these storms we learn of God’s faithfulness when He displays His awesome power. Let’s renew our trust in the Lord for God has great plans for those who will put their trust in Him.
