Thought for the Day 8/27/2010

The Lord of the Storm


The noise of the storm did not wake Him, nor the rain in that gale tossed boat,
but desperate voices of His frightened disciples who feared they could not stay afloat.
The sea water was filling their vessel far faster than they could remove it, yet
Jesus was the Lord of the Storm that night, and at their cries He was ready to prove it.

"Peace" He commanded, and "Be still" then to their amazement, before their very eyes
the little boat stopped its reeling, the raging storm abated, no rain, no wind .... clear skies!
How often we too may panic when life seems to spin out of control,
yet if we stop and ask Jesus to guide us, and wait to see how things unfold
we learn, He still hears His disciples pleading voices,
will calm our hearts and minds, and bring us to better choices.

Showing us that things may work out, when with finite vision we
are convinced of the fact that something could not possibly be,
Lord of the Storms of Life works in our lives now, He'll calm our roughest sea.
His precious Peace He will put in our hearts, and bring us safely to shore
all this He will do for us if we call on Him, all this and so very much more.
