Jesus Has Already Calmed Our Storms; Just Hold On

We go about preparing our life, mostly thinking of the future not really concerned with the present or what happened in the past. But life has a way of “rocking our boats” so to speak.  We may have all the plans we want, and they are good ones. Ones that assure our future, with family, jobs etc., are secured. Now, here comes the kicker. But what if Yashuah has another direction for you to go one that is quite the opposite of what you have in mind? Do you get in (the boat) line with His choice or stay on the shore and watch your life move away. 

Most true children of YHWH will follower after (get in the boat, if you please), especially after getting to know Him and what He wants to do in and through our life. And when we follower after His design for our life, storms (troubles, trials and tribulations) that may come and try and destroy our faith, belief even our life, will not. Because we can be assured that even though our Lord may seem to be out of our reach, He is not; when we are threatened with a seen or an unforeseen danger He is right here (He is always with us but when we call to Him, for help, He makes Himself known through the action He takes. He will speak to the messes, (circumstances and situations) which have plagued us with fear and He rebuke the winds of troubles, (sickness, disease, poverty, loneliness, anxiousness, anger, etc.) and make the waves that overwhelm us with fear and anger be still. He causes all our troubles to become calm and stop hitting us, long enough, for us to catch our breath; not saying we will not get another round. But saying, we must hold fast, in times as these and all other times, to YAH’s Word, Yashuah’s fulfillment and the Holy Spirit’s guidance. For in His love for us, He does not allow anything to come upon us, to hit us so hard or come so often, to the point where we give up or die (physically and spiritually).

So, while thinking seriously about whether we want to play it safe and stay on shore with the world and a life leading nowhere but down, we should be of good courage at any juncture of our life and stay in the boat (of YAH’s love); until we get to the other side with other believers. If we have faith and truly believe, like we say we do, we will not be afraid, concerned but not afraid. Because Yashuah will speak into and over our lives and the winds that try and blow us apart, down and away be still. And the waves that billows and threaten to swallow us up, will obey Him and settle down and be quiet.

“When YHWH is in the midst of the mix, the whole thing becomes a lifesaving eternal message. But when you allow the devil in the midst of, the mix the whole thing becomes a mess.” EDR

Mark 4:35-41

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 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?” 39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” God’s got it no worry no fear.
