Keep Surfing

So, I've been doing a lot of thinking about all the things going on in our world, in our lives, in our day-to-day. And, I truly mean "our". We've had so many things going on lately that it would be hard to list them all or count them all or describe them all. What I do know, though, is that we are not the exception.

We will all have those seasons of life when everything and anything is going wrong and nothing seems to be able to fix it. There will be times that when everything is going wrong that someone else will call and place more on you. There will be times when in the midst of the darkest storm you've ever been in, someone else will bring another tornado. It just keeps coming and coming and coming.

Today's word is Matthew 14:25, KJV, which reads, "And in the fourth watch of the night JESUS went unto them, walking on the sea."

I think about my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, Who walked upon the stormy sea. The tumultuous sea that was crashing over everyone else's heads were underneath His feet. These storms that were raging so violently were calmed when He gently spoke, "Peace be still". When I feel like things are crashing all around me, all I have to do is remember Whose I am, and how He has it all in control. 

A simple quote I came across that sort of sums up what we have to do when things are coming at us faster than we can think is, "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." JESUS has full authority to calm the worst storms. And, He loves us. And, just as He reached down to lift Peter from the angry waves, He will lift us from our stormy trials, too. In the meantime, keep surfing!

Be Blessed,
