There is a story about
passengers who were on a ship in a severe storm and in imminent danger of
sinking. The passengers were whispering "Are we going down? Are we
safe?" One passenger said, "I've got to find out," so he made
his way topside across the heaving decks, to the pilot house, where the pilot
of the ship had his hand firmly on the wheel. The pilot turned and saw the fear
in the passenger's face and just smiled at him, not even speaking a word.
On arriving below
the once fearful passenger exclaimed "We're going be all right. I've seen
the face of the pilot, and he smiled at me." What we need to do when we are crippled by
fear caused by difficult circumstances is look away from the "stormy
waves" and into the serene face of our Jesus, our MIGHTY GOD, the One Who
is always mighty to save. We need to see the reassuring smile of our Savior Who
alone is able to calm the storms simply by speaking these words to our heart -
"Peace, be still!"
How difficult is
your difficulty? How challenging are your challenges? The Name MIGHTY GOD begs
the question - "Is anything too difficult for the LORD?" (Gen 18:14) Jeremiah 32:17
says, “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy
great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.”
Ephesians 3:20
makes us know that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we
may ask or think, according to the power that works in us. This is one of the greatest and most powerful
verses in the Bible as it is a verse of assurance that God is the only able
God. He is the Almighty God. The one that parted the red sea; brought water
from the rock; turned water to wine; calmed the raging storm and a whole lot He
has done and can still do.
May the Almighty
God prove Himself mighty in your situation and life in Jesus Name. Amen!
