He Calms the Storms

Bible in a Year : Isaiah 20–22; Ephesians 6

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14:27

Jim was frantically sharing about problems he was encountering with his work team: division, judgmental attitudes, and misunderstandings. After an hour of patiently listening to his concerns, I suggested, “Let’s ask Jesus what He would have us do in this situation.” We sat quietly for five minutes. Then something amazing happened. We both felt God’s peace cover us like a blanket. We were more relaxed as we experienced His presence and guidance, and we felt confident to wade back into the difficulties.

Peter, one of Jesus’s disciples, needed God’s comforting presence. One night he and the other disciples were sailing across the Sea of Galilee when a strong storm arose. All of a sudden, Jesus showed up walking on water! Naturally, this took the disciples by surprise. He reassured them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid” (Matthew 14:27). Peter impulsively asked Jesus if he could join Him. He stepped out of the boat and walked toward Jesus. But he soon lost focus, became aware of the dangerous and humanly impossible circumstance he was in, and started sinking. He cried out, “Lord, save me!” and Jesus lovingly rescued him (vv. 30–31).

Like Peter, we can learn that Jesus, the Son of God, is with us even in the storms of life!

Reflect & Pray

What storm of life are you going through today? What can you do to shift your focus from the storm to the One who can calm it?

Jesus, thank You that You have the power and authority to calm the storms in our lives. Help us to trust You.

Nothing but the best!

Got a wonderful 3/10 inch of rain today which is the most that we hve had since August 28.

Kinda important when you have a well.

[PROCON]

Have we got snow yet? Bite your tongue!

During the 5 winters I've lived here in the high desert of E. Washington, the earliest we've gotten snow was once in November, and it was a brutal winter. But most of our snow arrives just before Christmas and stays into early February.

But LAST year we didn't get a lick of snow until February and it snowed and snowed what seemed forever, a brutal winter it was well into March.

Our Fall weather has been mild, cold mornings and mild afternoons.

How about you?

[beachn4fun]

Kinda important when you have a well.

You bet it is.
It's been a dry couple of months, for sure.

[lightman]

Where are all the “drought buster” hurricane remnants?

-—headed for England.

[beachn4fun]

LOL

[luvie]

There. Have my 1/2 burrito and Doritos and am sitting now. So it’s still dry there, too, huh? It’s been a very weird summer. I don’t think fall will ever get here!

[beachn4fun]

Ouch! I bit my tongue ;)
LOL

I was wondering because I heard some parts in the higher elevations got snow already.

Word from NOAA is that we may have a mild winter again.
Right now, we’re waiting on the cold front moving this way. Next week will be in the 70s. Sweater weather soon.
