When The Storms Of Life Are Raging Series
Contributed by Joanna Loucky-Ramsey on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: When the storms of life threaten to swamp our boat, we can choose fear or faith. With Jesus in the same boat with us, we can be sure we will make it to the other shore.
the Lord. Get to know those promises. Resolve to believe them and put your whole weight upon them. 1 Peter 5:7 - "Cast all your care on Him because He cares for you." The command is, Cast all your care on Him. Why should we do this? Because he cares for you. That’s the promise. If he didn’t care for you it wouldn’t make any sense to cast all your care on him. But he does care. That’s his nature. That’s his character. That’s why you can commit your concerns to his care. Place all your eggs in his basket and they will be safe and secure for eternity. As long as you are in the same boat with Jesus, no storm can destroy you.
REMEMBER GOD’S CHARACTER
God is aware of your situation and knows your needs.
God cares.
God is able to take you through the storm to reach
the other side. Jeremiah 32:17 - “Sovereign Lord, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You.”
And now here’s the verse that sums it up quite well Mark 5 vs. 1. "And they came to the other side of the sea."
So, my brothers and sisters, Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Amen.
