into the storms..

During my time with the Lord today, He was pointing something to me..even as I reflect on my situations, other people's situations.

I was reminded of Luke 8:22-24, where God was teaching me, that many times, as we choose to obey the voice of God, often it leads us straight into "storms". It might be a conflict, a problem, a sickness, an impossible situation...in the passage, Jesus was initiating the disciple to go over to the other side of the lake, and we know how the story goes...

He was encouraging me that in the midst of storms of my life, He's always with me. As I obey Him, He promises that He will never leave me nor forsake me. And I need to believe that..I understand that at times, it is difficult, when all you can see is the problem, and when it seems in the natural that there's no way out, but as in my situation..God has always assure me, that I need to just believe and trust Him.
Because when the disciples were afraid, Jesus question them to where their faith is?

Faith to believe who He really is, and to hold on to that...will help us to stay where God wants us to be.

Just a piece of revelation that I hope to encourage anyone who is the midst of storm, to know that Jesus is with you...never will He leave nor forsake you.

And I believe that sometimes only in going through those "storms" in our life, then we'll have a deeper revelation of who God truly is. That we may then glorify and praise His name.

The disciples said (Luke8:24)
"In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this?He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him."

This promised us that God is in control and He's bigger than any storms that may come into our lives.
