Today's Bible verse:
This weekend's sermon: "Beyond Worry" by Pastor Mike McCrary
+ + + + + + +
"Wake Up, Lord!?!"
Welcome, fishermen, to the stormy sea! Peter, James and John, stop shaking! Can't you see beyond the storm--look below, the Savior, the MASTER of the sea, is in the boat with you! Oh, I know, He's sound asleep but if HE, the Creator of the sea, is in your boat, why should you fear? You thought life was one smooth sail--a fisherman's paradise--but today it looks more like "Paradise Lost."
Now WHY would your beloved Master let that happen? So He could prove to you--and to all of us down through the ages--that HE is Master of the sea--AND the hearts of men. He can calm the storm on high seas--or in your heart! And, by the way, we've read the rest of the story in God's Word, and WE know you're going to be just fine, fishermen--just wait and see!
Sometimes our fishing boat's out in the middle of the stormy sea. We DON'T know the end from the beginning; we don't know which end is up! Concern turns to anxiety; anxiety turns to fear; fear turns to panic and we scream, "Jesus, WAKE UP - HELP! I'm drowning!"
And Jesus, not now asleep in our boat, but at the right hand of the Father, ALWAYS AWAKE, hears the cry, smiles and says, "My child, I'm teaching you to trust Me...just a few more ups and down, winds and waves--I'm watching, and I'm waiting for you to lean on Me. If you lean close enough, you'll hear Me whisper, "Peace, be still," and you too will know the final calm of the fishermen that day on Lake Galilee. I am going to bring you through--just wait and see!"
--Excerpted from a previous devo.
Walk in Worship
PRAYER: "Lord, HELP - I'm in the middle of the deep blue sea today. Will you please whisper, "Peace, be still" to my heart. Help me to trust You in the middle of the storm; THEN I know you will speak peace to the issue that is about to drown me. I trust in You, Thou Master of the Sea, in Jesus' Name, Amen."
