What does your boat look like
Spring is here and temperatures rising. Green grass and flowers. However, we all are in an unbelievable storm! If you have not listened to Ryan Stevenson's song "In the Eye of the Storm"..time to hear the song that will be a tune you can not shake from humming all day long.
4832 Thought:
"In the eye of the storm...you remain in control....You alone are the anchor...your love surrounds me...in the eye of the storm.
But the good news is.."the storm will fade away" and God's got this.
But during this storm...what size is your boat to ride it out? Are you in a celebrities' yacht ... a fully stocked kitchen and feeling pretty safe? Still enjoying the sunsets? Are you in a power boat...trying to out race the tidal wave? Are you in a row boat...no longer a job and a family of four and not sure how you will continue to feed them? Are you a farmer, hanging on rubber raft and your produce or livestock not even being able to be sold and already $!00,000 owed to the investors? Or even worse, on a ventilator, adrift at sea on a log and not even conscious and about to fall off?
Matt. 8: 25 & 26 "Lord save us! We're going to drown!" He replied "You of little faith, why are you afraid?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
Isaiah 41:10 reads "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righters hand."
But the good news is.."the storm will fade away" and God's got this.

What is your "boat" to help you survive right now? What do you need from others to make it through this storm? How can we help you?

A good reminder to be still and God has us. Hard to do so many times but so effective when you actually do it.
Great thoughts! Yes...we are in a storm but we know God is bigger!
