Several Years Ago A Submarine Was Being Tested ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
Several years ago a submarine was being tested and had to remain submerged for many hours. When it returned to harbor, the captain was asked, “How did the terrible storm last night affect you?” The officer looked at him in surprise and exclaimed, “Storm? We didn’t even know there was one” You see, the sub had been so far beneath the surface that it had reached the area known to sailors as “the cushion of the sea.” The ocean may be whipped into huge waves, but the waters below are never stirred.
Have you experienced the “cushion of the Savior”? The waves of worry and fear will not overcome you if we put our faith and trust in Christ.
