| The Sea of Life |
| “For He commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so He bringeth them unto their desired haven” (Psalm 107:25-30). |
| I have been on some rough seas and travelled on all kinds of boats. Like the Lord’s disciples, I have been concerned on more than one occasion as to the outcome of the voyage and whether we would make the intended shore or not. |
| The sea of life is like that too. Sometimes things go very smoothly, and sometimes things are rough. There are calm days and stormy days. But, thankfully, there is One who is in full control of every wave and every blast of wind in our lives. Over the roar of the storm, He says, “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid” (Matthew 14:27). Read the whole account in Matthew 14:22-33. |
