How many times do we do the same thing? We say we love Jesus and we want to follow Him but after awhile we get tossed around by the wind or waves. The storm can be as simple as our own busy schedules or our family’s schedule. We know Jesus is alive and is our strength, why don’t we open God’s word and truly learn to live like Jesus did. In good times and in bad we should stay firm. Jesus had death in His family but it didn’t stop Him from doing God’s will.
When John the Baptist was beheaded Jesus wanted to get away but in Matthew 14:14 it says, “Jesus saw the huge crowd as He stepped from the boat, and He had compassion on them and healed their sick.”
We need to understand in good and bad Jesus is the way and when we ask, Lord is that really you? We need to be ready to be the light for all to see.
I love in Proverbs 23:12 it says, “Commit yourself to instruction; listen carefully to words of knowledge.”
We need to commit ourselves to God’s instruction all the time so when we are being hands and feet of Jesus we don’t begin to sink when the storms come. Amen
