What's Rocking Your Boat?

 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV) "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

It's easy to be calm, when the Sea of Life is calm. It is much harder to be calm, when the storms of life are raging. Often times we are like the disciples. We know Jesus is on the boat, but we go wake Him up, and tell Him to calm the storm. We forget that when Jesus ascended into Heaven He sent the Holy Spirit to be our comforter. The greater one actually lives inside of us. The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity. The Word of God says that, "...He never sleeps or slumbers but gives His beloved sweet sleep." You and I can rest assured knowing whatever rocks our boat-God is greater! God is with us. God is in us. We are His and He is ours! We can speak to the storm and it will be calm. 

Most of the time however, the storm is not on the outside. The storm is on the inside. We can't seem to settle ourselves down. We worry and fret over things that God wants to handle for us. He knows the beginning from the end. God knows how to solve our problems and He is waiting for us to call upon Him. Just keep reminding yourself that God loves you and it is going to be okay.

Action Step: Today, as you go about your business remember to be a Peacemaker. Do not let the world and all it's clamor rise above the voice of God. No matter what you are going through He is with you. You and I have nothing to fear. The Greater One lives on the inside of us. And then, share your peace with others. Be the calm in the storm. There are many on the Sea of Life that are being tossed by every wave and surrounded by the sounds of thunder. Cast out a life preserver.  Offer Jesus to all who do not know Him. He loves to work through us. And, sometimes like a garden hose when we allow Him to flow through us-there is always enough left over in the hose to take care of whatever we need.
